  • Hello, I am not interested in buying your house. But I would like to use your restroom, dig through your magazines, rearrange your shelves, and handle your food products in an unsanitary manner.

    HA! NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS!

    No idea what season, but I’m pretty sure this immediately follows “whoa, windows! I don’t think I can afford this place.”


  • Produce? Priced per pound (usually). BUT the comparison price is per kg for some reason? Except not always?

    Liquid? Per 100ml, except for the one specific thing you want to compare, which is measured per volume of a size 10 sneaker.

    Dry goods? Per 100g or kg (or rarely, pounds) with no rhyme or reason as to which they choose.

    Toilet paper? Compare “sheet”, which will require a terminal degree in advanced mathematics to calculate (one roll of SUPER PLUSH is equal to 7.2 rolls of MEGA PLUSH, which is 4.875 of double, which is anything except twice as many as).

    In Canada, we actually have a big colourful wheel that Chrystia Freeland spins to decide what unit we use when measuring a specific thing.
