Verizon hiring requirement: failed third grade math

Politics and religion have stepped aside, this is the new most infuriating thing I've ever heard. A man was charged .002 dollars per kilobyte of data usage after being quoted .002 cents. Verizon's reps repeatedly refuse/fail to understand the difference between the two, insisting that they are the same amount of money.

He did eventually get a refund of all the money and Verizon changed their advertising to .002 dollars.

ha! i heard this one last year when it came out. but suprisingly, most people i asked said it was the same thing because they see it on paper. .002 is the same as .002 ...

The check was funny.

It's a shame the idiot who captioned it either (a) doesn't know how to read, (b) doesn't recognize the most famous identity in Mathematics.

e^(i*pi) is a manipulation of Euler's identity, and always equals -1.

The limit as 1/2^n approaches infinity is indeed 1.

0.002 - 1 + 1 = 0.002.

Smartass should learn to read before making fun of others.

Worse still is that it's written twice on the check, so it can't just be misread once, but twice.

Here's the original:
