She was about to repay me a bill that I financed for the company. Here’s the written documentary of the transaction:

Woman: That’s 19,575.
Me: Okay, here’s 20,000.
Woman: I’ll be right back with the change. Need to go to my office first as I don’t have a calculator with me.
Me: Err?
Woman: I’m not an expert in mental arithmetic.

Well, I can see that…

Here’s the little conversation we had:

- I would need to type the number 2 in Roman numerals. How can I do that?
- Err… press “I” twice on your keyboard.
- Yeah, but there’s a dot over it!

Little things like this can make your day.
