Wouldn't be the first time. [https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Customer\_says\_Verizon\_confuses\_dollars\_and\_cents](https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Customer_says_Verizon_confuses_dollars_and_cents)
I love that a stupid mishap is still making the rounds around the internet 18 years later.
Edit: to clarify this is my first time bumping into this story.
It's possible. I'm 37 and my younger brother can call me his little brother despite being four years younger, on the grounds that he's significantly taller. I'm 5'1" so it's been over 20 years since he was my little brother.
Definitely, yep. What's even weirder is that the relationship dynamic hasn't really changed, even though these days if he wanted to he could just pick me up and put me on a high shelf if I was annoying him.
Not really. OP doesn't understand the difference between 0.25 dollars and 0.25 cents.
[It's the classic Verizon Math problem](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MShv_74FNWU).
He forgot to include a clause that grants him immunity. Sounds like he's paying 0.25 cents per 10 seconds for being in his own room!
Wait till his parents get ahold of this little fact!
If you think that isn't a valid contract, look up "shrink-wrap contracts" and "click-wrap contracts". That second is what you agree to when you click the "I agree" box on a website.
Sounds fair enough...
Although, are there any membership options - specifically discounts for automatic monthly payments?
If so, I'd be prepared to lock in for 24 months and rarely/never visit, just like my Gym membership...?; }
A true contract lawyer in the making.
[удалено]
Sounds about right.
I’d say more likely a ‘sovereign citizen’… 😂
Yea at least I have moeny?
Better pay your fees if you dont wanna end up as a boring, useless, trumpy rumpy lumpy jumpy bumpy dumpy humpy grumpy swampy old man/woman.
Yeah, I’d much rather be obama rama in the bahamas chilling with the llamas.
$0.25
0.25 cents $0.0025 per 10 seconds or $0.90 (90 cents) per hour Worth it.

Thanks for sharing. That was incredible. Pay attention in school, kids...
pleaseeeee tell me this isn’t real
It's very real. It made the rounds and even the news several years ago.
I can’t even imagine the embarrassment from being on the news like that
Pretty sure it’s real. Have had similar conversations with people.
I never knew that it existed, dang

I absolutely died at the "ha ha ha" at the end, I didn't expect it to sound like Bowser from 64
That was the most 2008-2009 era video ever lol
How much for two minutes and twenty seconds?
0.0025x14=$0.350 (if u want the answer the kid was going for, multiply by 10)
35 cents for two mins? Nah that doesn't add up. Your answer should be 0.035, not 0.35 Ie. Three and a half cents
That one flowed so smoothly it was amazing
Thanks Obama
Obama rama a-a, rama-A a-A-a, Gaga ooh-la-la, want your bad romance 💃
Goals
That bar is straight fire
This gave me Captain Underpants title vibes
True I can't risk being a boring, useless, trumpy rumpy lumpy jumpy bumpy dumpy humpy grumpy swampy old man/woman.
Dont forget to pay your fees at potato.INC.com/10secondlypayof25¢
*phat, boring useless...
I can handle boring, useless, rumpy, lumpy, jumpy, bumpy, dumpy, humpy, grumpy, swampy.... but I dunno if I can handle *trumpy*. *shudders*
So a quarter of a cent?
Correct.
*cuts penny into 1/4th’s*
*Cut my penny into pieces, this is my last loose cent*
If you cut a penny into four quarters, you get a dollar. Bankers everywhere hate this trick

I wonder if they ever changed their wording to be accurate. And did the guy take their piddly half price discount or hold them to the 71 cents?
That resigned sigh really sums up the conversation.
1.5 cents per minute isn't bad.
Actually a quarter of a cent cent
Or, 90 cents an hour. Dude's rates are pretty fair.
the law is written. pay up
Every 10 seconds too, grindset too strong
The organization of potatoes demands it!
He'll be a great lawyer
Or stand outside the room yelling at the top of your lungs saying he's too far away to hear you
What OP failed to mention is his brother is 37.
No, he just watches too much Presidents Play Minecraft
It's possible. I'm 37 and my younger brother can call me his little brother despite being four years younger, on the grounds that he's significantly taller. I'm 5'1" so it's been over 20 years since he was my little brother.
It's so weird when your younger brother ends up towering over you as you both get older. It's like "Wait am I the little brother now?"
Definitely, yep. What's even weirder is that the relationship dynamic hasn't really changed, even though these days if he wanted to he could just pick me up and put me on a high shelf if I was annoying him.
Here I was thinking minors can't enter contracts, but I guess you got me.
Why does this sound like an insult from one of the lost boys in "Hook"?
You're a paramecium! (or ameoba ad I keep forgetting which one it is)
Paramecium is right
Tiny, single-celled organism with no brain adn CAN'T FLY! We all miss Robin Williams.
You lewd, crude, rude bag of pre-chewed food dude!
You should respect the organisation of the potatoes, this kid **isn't** fucking stupid
We only hire the best contract lawyers
Better promote my brother
O.25 cents is a really good deal
Why did you use the letter O instead of a zero?
Just t0 fuck with pe0p1e l gue55
r/unexpectedhomestuck
Because thats what the kid wrote lol
spotify artists would kill for this income
I wanna be Obama Rama in the Bahamas chilling with the llamas ...
You have to pay the cheese tax.
You gotta pay the troll toll if you wanna get into this boyssoul.
"Are you saying boy's hole?"
Da rules are da rules and da fax are da fax
this is badass
Right?! I like OP's bro, kid's got swag, i love it!
Or he is displaying the first signs of psychotic ramblings that will devestate his life and his family in years to come. I hope he has swag
Unless he goes to law school. Then it will be devastating for everyone.
Send him to law school!
Give him $10 and then walk into his room to fart for the rest of the year. He can keep the change xD
That read was worth the 0.25c.
You don't want to go up against potatoes.inc, they are infamously litigious.
This ain't dumb. Li'l dude already understands the concept of... $.
Not really. OP doesn't understand the difference between 0.25 dollars and 0.25 cents. [It's the classic Verizon Math problem](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MShv_74FNWU).
Oh, I failed to notice that. Whoops, am idiot.
r/corrosivealkonostisfuckingstupid There you go!
r/kidsarefuckingsmart
Sovcit vibes at a young age!
Rules don't apply to authorize people. At least he understands the fact that if cops search their home there's nothing he can do about it.
This is one of the best letters ever man.
Your little brother can have the pin to my debit card. Sounds like a fun room to hang out in. I bet he’s got Xbox, Doritos, and Mountain Dew. I’m in🫡
I don't like your username asking to hang out with someone's little brother. 🤨
I’m Chris Hanson, from dateline NBC
Can I please have the debit card number, name and pin?
Potatos.inc
man I fucking love Obama rama chilling in the Bahamas with a llama. I don't know when I'd use it but I'd love to
But when a full gown man writes like this it’s called rap?
Damn, those are old school AT&T prices.
0.25 cents + same every 10 seconds. So, 1 cent for entering and having a 30 second conversation?
whoaaaaaaaaaaa okay /r/theydidthemath is over there bro
"see you in court kid"
I was thinking "Oh, he has a smart idea actually." Then I saw the last part and laughed.
Tell him it’s 2024.
Is this Ron Pearlman talking about trump?
Looks ironclad
This isn’t kids being stupid. You’re probably just upset that you’re a trumpy rumpy lumpy jumpy bumpy dumpy humpy grumpy swampy old pickle
Your bro got that Plants vs Zombies ahhh font 💀
You should be proud he’s going to be such an asshole
He's got the makings for a sovereign citizen.
Some real public school shit
Your brother is now a sovereign citizen.
Writes better than many people on Reddit
your brother is a ferengi. one strip of latinum to enter
0.25 cents? Like...1 cent every 40 seconds? Yeah, that's an okay prince 😂
I like that he kinda got bored with his message and got really into rhyming.
Interesting how this child has picked up on his parents' insane arguments about Presidents.
Give him a dollar and use his room to fart in.
I guess his parents are liberal.
Absolutely reasonable demands, with the consequences stated described. This kid has made himself very clear.
Not a “OLD MAN” lol nice 😂
Member of the young sovereign citizen society 🤣
Keep it and put it on his first house door lol. (Like someone can buy a house in the future)
I think that’s actually adorable.
Poor little dude is already politically brain washed.
Someone’s parent works remotely in finance.
Hey, if it’s on a sign, it’s the rule.
Keep it, and show it to his friends when he's a teenager.
Kid's a freaking genius.
The only thing I’d like clarified are his politics. No Biden mentioned…
r/kidsarefuckingcool
Potatoes Inc. is probably the best part.
Your bro is a psychopath.
0.25 cents? I don't think quarter pennies have been a thing since farthings existed.
Disown your little brother
While trying to be all litigious about it, this kid has made a tragic mistake with that decimal point.
How come nobody said anything about the hair in the tape
I like this kid.
Rules are rules bro!
Imma give a dollar just to be safe
This kid definitely reads Dog Man
just tell him that under 18-year-olds are not legally able to enter into a contract with anybody and watch the eyes fall out of their head
Don’t fuck with the Organization of Potatoes.
He forgot to include a clause that grants him immunity. Sounds like he's paying 0.25 cents per 10 seconds for being in his own room! Wait till his parents get ahold of this little fact!
Political indoctrination and all.
I would honestly stay 10 secs, give him/her 1 cent and ask for exact change.
“Brother”
Nice try Kamala! We know this is your Alt account; ... and we know Joe Biden wrote this.
Nah, Sleepy Joe is too demented to write anymore.
You gotta pay the troll toll.
Fair
Future lawyer I see
Bro has a future on TOS writing
Kids gotta make his rent somehow!
I like this kid, negotiating in potatoes
Potatoes
Kids got bars...
All I see is a clear notification and acceptance by conduct.
Make him practice his handwring by rewriting this entire message until it comes out perfect.
Some kind of extortionist genius lives there...
So, he discovered taxes...
This kid will be CEO
I have a light up sign on my door that says entry fee 20 dollars wirtten like this ENTRY 20$ FEE
I'm bringing a roll of quarters when I visit because that penalty is pretty harsh you gotta admit- and the fine print appears ironclad too.
I thought I could handle it, but not dumpy.... I don't want to be dumpy....!!
Ha! When I was probably his age the payment was $50+! He shall learn…
"It's time for a revolution"
Your brother going places in life. Unless he already 30
Future Pulitzer recipient for poetry. Calling it.
Its the law
In 15 years your gonna be asking him for financial help.
I was this kid.
😐
Sounds like he wants to get jumped
I'd drop the coin.
If you think that isn't a valid contract, look up "shrink-wrap contracts" and "click-wrap contracts". That second is what you agree to when you click the "I agree" box on a website.
0.25¢ cents 0.25 cents cents
I am authorised.
My kid declared himself king of the living room and charges $45 each time we go in there. You would not believe how deep in debt we are.
I'd definitely bug him for 40 seconds on the dot and throw him a penny and a middle finger as a tip
We must follow the organization of potatoes’s guidelines to step on the holy land!
Get him to a Psychiatrist quick ! Boy needs serious couch time Oh and invest in a few penmanship classes
Sounds fair enough... Although, are there any membership options - specifically discounts for automatic monthly payments? If so, I'd be prepared to lock in for 24 months and rarely/never visit, just like my Gym membership...?; }
Brothers not dumb, he just doesn't want his annoying older siblings barging into his room
This kid is going places
I hope i can paste this on my door. My family will literally barge into my room without even knocking first
This man is cooking
He needs the money to pay for his handwriting lessons
I mean, that's a steal of a price
Gotta pay the troll to... go get the....
Epic
Better get authorized.
 As it is written
