Weirdy Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 First of all. Here's a refresher Two cents (of a dollar) = $0.02 (2/100) Two thousandths of a cent (of a dollar) = $0.002 (2/1000) The above is what Verizon was supposed to charge the guy: two thousandths of a cent (of a dollar) for each kilobyte used. However, they listed the rate as 0.002 cents (convert it to dollars and you get $0.00002) http://media.putfile.com/Verizon-Bad-Math ...and that's why it is important to learn about decimals and decimal places.

ken_cinder Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I got about 12 minutes in before I realized the clip is nearly 2 hours long! How retarded can you be to not realize the difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmvogel Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 I got about 12 minutes in before I realized the clip is nearly 2 hours long! How retarded can you be to not realize the difference? The conversation lasts around 27 minutes. The rest is just empty filler. But a hilarious and worthwhile conversation nonetheless....******* idiots at Verizon.

Lucandrake Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Haha, good find. My Pre-Algebra and Algebra teachers use to hassle the students about their decimal places. My Algebra teacher gave a story of how she asked a man in Publix for .5 pounds of meat and the man ended up giving .05. When she asked for a correct amount he said that it was, she then asked for 0.5 again without the 0 before the 5 and the man told her "There is no difference take your meat and go home". I laugh at it every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
