    I genuinely had a mortgage advisor point at a > and go “is that more than or less than, I never can remember?”

    I ended up not taking his advice on a mortgage, although I did also fix his printer before he left. I did this by clearing 150 jobs from the print queue.

      That takes me way back to grade 1 where the way I was taught was to imagine an alligator eating the bigger number. I think all year I even drew teeth on them!

        It’s a fucking arrow pointing from big to small. It has a big end that goes at the big number and a small end that goes at the small number.

        It couldn’t be simpler.

        People still can’t remember.

        I mean I get having trouble with Trig… But this ?
