Me: do you know the dimensions of the thing you're selling? Seller: I don't have a tape measure or ruler or any commonly known object; my house is a featureless grey void with no dimensions at all. I'm not interested in selling this thing I'm selling, you should drive here and measure it for me.

In 1996 I was talking to a database consultant at my work who had been working on the Cal ISO exchange. He was trying to explain how it would drop the price of power by 15%. I was like look man, whatever they're saying, it's not going to do that. Power is now about 3-4x what it cost then.
