Bad at Math
Alright kiddos. If you are still in school I want to take a minute to tell you how important math is.
Last week I was in charge of paying for a pizza. The guy was late. I was hungry. When the guy came up to the house and told me the total I gave him two twenties. Not being the sharpest mathematician AND also being too hungry to bother with this poor service I told him to give me seven dollars back. The math in my head said that he would get a two dollar tip.
It wasn't until 15 minutes later that I realized I gave him a twelve dollar tip. I'm still kicking myself about that.
