Simple math is beyond us, I see

[Redbeard]

Not really sucky, just not willing to perform basic math.

Me: Rum swilling wage slave for corporate giant (That actually isn't too bad to work for. Go figure)
SC: Our usual suspect

Me: This is Redbeard, my pain is your manna
SC: Yes, I am upset over this email confirmation I got!
Me: Okay, let me pull up account, I've got you here, and what seems to be the issue?
SC: I was promised $39.99 install, this says $50!
Me: I see that, and I see where the person you spoke with yesterday is going to issue you a $10 credit to bring the final installation price down, you're good to go!
I'll skip the usual back and forth, just image about 3 minutes of "You're getting a credit" replied with "I was told that the install would be $39.99!"
Me: Sir, what is 50 minus 10?
SC: 40, why? Oh....OH! Okay then. *click*

In his defense, he doesn't have 50 fingers. How do you expect him to count that high?! Even if he took off his shoes he could only get to 18 after the accident.

18 1/2 if he's in the shower.

"I was told that the install would be $39.99!"

SC, that's a 2 stroke penalty for improving your lie.

First thing I thought of when I saw the headline

No, that was my typo. It was supposed to read "$39.99"

[Dark Psion]

But it is still a penny short!

Ok sir, if you go outside tomorrow, I will leave you a penny on your side walk. You may have to walk around a little bit to find it.

Still, I'm sure some of you (especially those who work in sporting goods selling golf equipment) would be tempted to tell some SCs that they have a 2 stroke penalty.
