I listed ed to the how thing, very lol.

This is why you shouldn't listen to your math teach you a shortcut. Things like this happen.

0.002 cents = $0.00002

Yea, the people in verizon were idiots, but so was the caller.

First of all, if he thinks that they are just going to charge .002 cents, logically that is bull****. I dont even pay a phonebill or even know most rates, but I know that is INCREDIBLY cheap to the point where I wouldn't even believe it.

Secondly, he is horrible at teaching and understanding that REPEATING the same ****ing method over to someone who doesn't understand it will not work. As well, it was more of a unit difference, but instead he focused on bringing .002 and zero zero/thousandth. Sure, I understood it and most people would. Most people get the concept, but this guy is an idiot for not understanding how to describe it in a less "confusing" way.

I don't see how you could side with this guy either. Yes, I think he should get a refund but he was almost as much of an idiot as the people on the phone, and a bigger asshole.

Take into fact its easier to understand something, like math, written down rather then spoken.

It's also difficult as hell to teach, with or without being able to write, and more so when you consider that the guy had already been on hold for a long time and was extremely frustrated.

He was trying to get that one woman to write it all down but she seemed a little too offended to want to listen to him at that point.

I figure if you can't do that kind of simple math, why the **** are you working in the financial department of Verizon?
