2010, you would think that things would change around here. WRONG.
WIP: Here’s the measurement: 2ft 6 inches by 6ft
Coworker: Can you convert that all into inches?
WIP: Oh, okay. (Goes back to her desk… Comes back 10 minutes later) 31.2 inches by 72 inches
Coworker: What?? Where are you getting the .2 inches? I have the calculations right here and I think your number is wrong.
WIP: Umm… no.. are you sure? I did it on my calculator.
Coworker: …
WIP: Let me show you. (types in 2.6 x 12)
Coworker: … It’s not 2.6…
WIP: Umm… yes it is. 2 feet 6 inches, so 2.6.
Coworker: 2 feet equals 24 inches.. then you add 6 inches.
WIP: Oh! I didn’t know that.
WTF.
