I can totally relate to this. I always find places that mark things as .99c instead of $.99 ... I know that it's probably just a labeling shortsight but it bugs the heck out of me and it makes it worse when people "don't understand" the difference.

That was hilarious.

Do you recognize the difference between $1 and 1c?
Yes
Do you recognize the difference between half a dollar and half a cent?
Yes
Do you therefore recognize the difference between .002 dollars and .002 cents?
No

Absolutely brilliant. I couldn't believe it.

it's old...but damn, so good and yet so utterly frustrating, I want to reach through the phone and just strangle the person on the other end.

People of our generation should not be subjected to mornings.
