Mr. Illogical and the Tightwad

Customer: Hey, when your tech comes, I need him to set up another outlet.
Me: OK, does he need to go through your wall to set up another outlet?
Customer: What?
Me: Does he need to go through your wall?
Customer: He can’t…there’s a weird board in the way. He can’t go through the floor either.
Me: OK, then how should he route the wiring?
Customer: Don’t know, don’t care.

**************************

Customer: Why am I paying $.30 for a remote every month??
Me: That’s the cost to rent the remote.
Customer: How much do each remote cost?
Me: $50 each.
Customer: I’ve been with you so long that I’ve paid for TWO remotes.
Me: Since this past January?
Customer: $.30 times January equals $100!

Looks like someone did not pay attention in elementary school. Lets see: 9 months times 30 cents only equals $2.70! How did he get $100? According to his theory, he was paying $11.12 a month for a remote! Yikes!

[Blinky]

lol..where did that guy learn math?! $.30 times January comes out to about..hrmm.....carry the 2........divide by pi.....where the hell did I put that damn abacus.....damn it..well it's no where near $100. I know that for sure!

maybe he didn't see the deimal point?

Don't know about that, but I do know that 14 times Tuesday equals 83.

Don't know about that, but I do know that 14 times Tuesday equals 83.

And 65 times February equals 154785013695

Sounds like the last one got their hands on a copy of "Sideways Arithmatic at Wayside School" where it teaches you how to multiply words together, and other fun tricks. Unfortunately, it seems they missed the logic portion of the exercises.

And 65 times February equals 154785013695

And if you divide that by Mustard you get 49151.

And if you divide that by Mustard you get 49151.

Add January then multiply by Sunday, subtract 7 AM on a Tuesday and it equals out to 98234.05

This sounds like how my customers balance their checkbook.

[One-Fang]

I just put .30 into one cell in Excel, and january into another, and multiplied the two cells. I can confidently state that $0.30 times January equals #VALUE!.

Maybe he factored in his hourly wage for the time he spent counting on his fingers and staring at the wall?
