I need a bit that's 1/64th" bigger than this 11/64th" bit I have

[oboeguy]

<sigh> Even at the hardware store they can't do fractions.

 

[DeadByDawn]

that's pretty funny

Lowe's or Home Depot?

 

[randomlinh]

wait, did you ask that just to see what they'd say.. or did you hear someone seriously ask that question....

 

[xospec1alk]

Apparently you can't either, or you'd have just asked for a 3/16" bit.

I guess I knew that I needed 3/16th" bit but, not being much a of hardware guru, I wanted to be sure it was the same kind of bit as the other one I already had. Came out pretty funny. eh? Local store, btw.

Edit: I should add that after I told the guy they're the same thing the guy "yes"'d me like I was some kind of no0b.

Your level of stupidity is just as high as his.

Maybe he was joking.

There's a subtle difference: I'm clueless, and the guy was flat out bad at math. Trust me, he wasn't joking.

 

[jjones]

You're both stupid. Him for not telling you that it's a 3/16" bit you're looking for, and you for asking in the first place.

 

[Conky]

You shoulda got all stupid on him.. "Listen up, bunghole, I want a 12/64ths bit and not this retarded 3/16ths!!! Get your manager!!!" :laugh:

americans and their silly system....*shakes head*

Or, for only a couple more bucks than a bit by itself, you could pick up a whole set of varying bits.

Good job, you got that guy. I don't know why they don't carry calculators around so they can figure out smartass calculations like that one. Not everyone is inclined to math, or people just downright forget. Nice one.
