This is officially the second dumbest take on the value of a quarter.

I knew a person who thought quarter to six meant 5:35 because "how many cents in a quarter dumbass."

Wait.....what? I'm struggling to comprehend this level of nonsense.

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quarter=25 cents. 25 minutes before six=5:35. And also OP is making it up, because no one that stupid is also doing extra math.

"You worked an extra 15 minutes today so you'll get paid 8.15 hours"

[–] Wogi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I mean you're not far of. If I clock out 7 minutes late, I get 0 extra hours, if I clock out 8 minutes late, I get paid for 15 minutes and a stern taking to about clocking out on time.

Smart enough to put two and two together, not smart enough to realize that may not apply to every situation.
