I just stumbled across this YouTube link. I think I have seen it before and some of you may have as well, but in case you haven't:

That made me so mad.

/math major.

I ran across this last week on FailBlog. It's mindblowing how this many people could be so stupid.

If you really want to blow your mind, read the transcript of the whole thing, which is even longer:

On page 2 of the comments there is some dipstick who is arguing that verizon is correct and he uses really horrible math to "prove" it.

Sad.

This is embarrassing. I'm going to check my AT&T bills now...

*stares in abject horror*
I mean, seriously. The guy explained it like three times, and these people didn't know what unites their calculators were working in.
This makes me despair for humanity...

Haha. That is really sad.

Decimals are hard.

Wow. If I didn't see it, I might not of believed it. Shameful. If I was a verizon employee I would ask for a .02 dollar raise.

Hahaha, yeah I saw that: .25 cents = 25 cents. lol. 0.100 dumbass.

I had to stop watching it after the manager lady sat there agreed that there was a difference between dollars and cents, half a dollar and half a cent but not between .002 dollars and .002 cents.

For the sake of my sanity, I'm just going to assume they were lying to bilk the guy out of his money, and that they aren't actually this dumb.
