I work in a field that orders scientific supplies and materials. A new guy has had an order slip returned due to how he’s ordered a specific liquid.
Me: “Hey, [New Guy], your order slip was rejected. You need to check your unit measurements for [liquid].”
New Guy: “It’s correct.”
Me: “You ordered 500 cm⁵ of [liquid].”
New Guy: “That’s just how that math works out. This is my part of the job.”
Me: “Okay, fair enough. I’ll ask the supplier for some five-dimensional hyper-liquid!“
