DAE round down numbers no matter what?
I can’t help it; I’m a pessimist. If there’s $999 in my bank account, I’m going to say there’s $900. If it’s going to be in the “high 80s” over the weekend, I’m going to say it’s going to be 80 on the dot.
I got chewed out by my boss today because he had asked me a while back for the date of a client meeting I told him it was April 20th. He went to the meeting location on the 20th but no one showed up, so he came back confused but stranger things have happened. Today, on the 26th, he gets a call that the client has been waiting for him at the location and is positively ticked off. So I guess I had rounded down from the 26th to the 20th when I told him.
Obviously I’m going to try to avoid doing this in the future as it could cost us an account worth a hundred grand but it’s very instinctual and I do it without thinking. I mean hell I literally just did it without thinking. The account is actually $475,000.
Anyone else do this?

This is the dumbest post ever. You rounded down a birthday? I’m calling bullshit.
Edit: original post said birthday, not client meeting. OP changed it.

OP edited the whole post. The original was a birthday not this bullshit about a client meeting.

OP messed up and found a very unbelievable excuse.

When I go shopping, if an item is $ 8.50...I round it to $ 9.00....I usually round it up...due to a limited income. It is also easier to add too.

Good way to prepare for sales tax without doing that much math and getting excited if there's some left over.
