Today, my roommate came out of the bathroom, and asked me how the scales knew her weight in both pounds and kilos, even though "the exchange rate is always changing." I actually live with this idiot. FML
I agree, your life sucks 25 644
You deserved it 2 200

ak_6694 tells us more.

For anyone who is interested, she has taken it with good humour and is still laughing about it. It's one of those electronic scales, so I did briefly get her to believe that due to the GFC, the scales would say she was putting on more pounds than kilos before I came clean with the truth.

Unfortunately for her, there is no exchange rate for her IQ, which probably resembles that of a kiwi. The fruit, not the bird. Not that it makes much of a difference...

YDI. You think your scale can calculate the difference between weight and mass.

You big idiot. HE does not think that. His ROOMMATE does.

34- It's Op's fault his roommate thinks the difference between pounds and kilograms is an ever changing variable depending on the exchange rate? :) Please explain this further to me, I'd love to see the connection here.

as would I. I think hqbrat may be best friends with the posters roomie.

I'm going to assume 34 is a troll because that statement makes no sense. If you are not, in fact, trolling please enlighten us as to how this could be OP's fault.

please explain what you are talking about? What you posted make absolutely NO sense to me.

"Stone" is another unit for weight. A stone is 14 lbs.

Tell her that due to exchange rates, her rent is going up. Have her cover 75-80% of the expensive.

Op°s roommate reminds me of Peter from Family Guy.
