Ummm... I am not shocked. And I bet they all did VERY WELL on their standardized tests.

How do you deal with such stupidity!? The only thing I can think of is to jump ship and never deal with the company again, but that doesn't fix the problem. I guess you can post it on your blog like this guy did, or you can take them to court for overcharging you? I don't know - it's so much run-around though, for a annoying little thing.

Here's the 2 lines that got me the most:
"Um, sir, I'm not a mathematician!" (Then why are you working a job that deals with billing, money and numbers!! You should be!)

"I guess it's just a difference of opinion." (Duh! It is NOT! You just want to get off the phone because you don't want to actually turn your brain on and engage it in this math problem! There's no opinion involved - it's black and white, and you'r getting it completely wrong!)

Ugh, people. Let's hope those kids were just having a bad day, early morning, no coffee yet, whatever!

:lol:

"I'm not a mathematician" in this case =

"I'm not a brain surgeon" to a small cut.
