I'm not that good at math in my head but if I had a pen and paper I can figure it out faster than I could in my head most of the time. Having a visual helps me immensely.

in her defense, it was really annoying when people tried to give you change after you already know how much to give back. Especially in a drive though when they tell you to have the change to the next doller ready for them before they pay.

But most people at burger places are just retarded.

I took Algebra in the 7th grade, why would they even offer it to people in college, if you can't do it by then, you probably shouldn't be in college h:

After I got out of high school and joined the Marines, I didn't have another math class for 3 years until I decided to start college. I took Intermediate Algebra and Geometry. Let me just say that time really kills your knowledge. If you're not applying the formulas or problems that you only find in the classroom and not in everyday life then you tend to forget a lot of crap.
