How to bug your OCD neighbors.

Stopped at the deli counter and asked for 3/4 pounds of Black Forest ham sliced thin. The teenaged employee measured out close to .34 pounds! I told her that wasn’t 3/4 pound and she rolled her eyes and said “It isn’t possible to get it exact and it was as close as she could do". I decided I didn’t have time to teach a math lesson so I said “Give me another package just like the first one and going over a few slices was ok”.

The stores and manufacturers must count on customers' lack of ability to do arithmetic. Today I stood in the store doing the math in my head at least twice saying surely that can't be right... the price per pod of those individual pods you put in the dishwasher was greater if you bought the package holding 16 than if you bought the bigger package with 43 in it. Basically the bigger box that they came in costs an extra couple of bucks. Some stores do the arithmetic for you and put it on the store tag in teeny tiny print, but not this one.

The fast food restaurants don't even have prices on the cash registers any more. They have pictures of the food Item you order. No math necessary. If you really want to confuse someone try giving the teller $5.25 for a $4.25 order and asking for a dollar back. Unless you have a senior (older person) taking your order they just don't get it. Really!

Sounds political rather than humorous to me. Perhaps you posted it to the wrong thread/site?

So you're easily irritated this morning? There are many humorous post that are on the verge of obscene, chase them to the "wrong thread/site" while you're at it!

Maybe...but it is afternoon here now as I typed that reply...

I guess your point should be well taken though.

Maybe with the posts you refer to comments should be made in response to them as well? Not just by me, but you too, if this is the way you feel.

Edit: I totally agree that some posts to this thread are not fun posts. And it is a fun thread...

Well, it's definitely not funny. I have to agree with you on that.

But then, the same is true of the "feel good" syrupy 'motivational' junk somebody keeps posting. Have you complained about those?

Or are you really just offended by the truth of the posting?

Nope. Nice try, but definitely not A level work.

The lock is straight.

Speaking of kids in the stores behind the counter,, I had a gallon of milk go through the scanner,, and it didnt ring up so this young casher scanned it again,, nada ,, and a 3rd time,, I said you know thats free. She said what do you mean, well if you scan it 3 times and it doesnt ring up then its free. And she looked at me as serious as a heart attack and said they never told us that. At which point I got an elbow in the ribs and my wife said thats not true he is just being an azz. Kids what are w going to do with them

Thread drift. Give it a moment and it will get back on track.

I guess I don’t necessarily see the “truth”. All I see is opinion. Could be right or Wrong. But that Belongs elsewhere in any event.
