I think I finally found someone who's worse at math than me...

You'd have to be a total ass to stand there and look at the cashier like she's an idiot, or worse, actually make a nasty comment.
I learned every thing I needed to learn to get my GED (I was homeschooled from 11 on. Sorry, mom, I know I'm not making you look good here...). I knew all the math at one point and did fine on the math test. But I just never have to use it anymore, and I've forgotten all of it. How to figure out percentages, dealing with fractions, etc.-all gone. It's scary. I really need to go back and go over this stuff again (oh what fun). I've always been a good writer. A's in english classes, and whenever I half to do papers for classes, whatever subject it may be, I always get excellent marks. And in grade school I always read at a level several grades ahead of mine. But when it comes to math and science, forget it. When I was a kid I'd sit in class staring at my math problems saying, "Huh???" while the rest of the class scribbled answers. Nothing ever sunk in.

Quoth Retail Associate View PostIf it's due to brain farts then my brain is on a flatulence high!
I manage to have extensive amounts of 'I left my brain at college' moments. I have, and I apologize in absentia to all the cashiers I've done it to, counted out my change and then asked them to double check it. I feel bad about it, but sometimes even the number of dollar bills I'm holding slips my mind.
On the other hand, there was the time I managed to hit the 00 (double zero) button on the register twice and entered that the guy paid me $2000 for his bill. *That* was funNPCing: the ancient art of acting out your multiple personality disorder in a setting where someone else might think there's nothing wrong with you.

Quoth Pedersen View PostProve it. Quantify it, so we can independently rate your math suckitude. Make sure this is a rigorous proof, too. We want to make sure it passes all tests, so that nobody can argue the point
So yes: I am completely retardular at all things mathematical.~~ Every politician that opens their mouth on birth control only proves that we need more of it. ~~
