My biggest pet pieve about the sentiment that it's a waste of time to learn things you won't use, is that many things people complain about they ought to be able to use, or at least it helps them form an understanding that helps them learn other things in the future.
The mfs who are practically innumerate bother me, because it's so easy to lie to them.
If you don't know how to multiply, then I want you to go learn it.
I knew someone I worked with in a cafe, that couldn't do the multiplication necessary to sell some remaining beans less than the 250g bags we usually sold, at a pro-rata price.
i.e. if the beans were $15 for a 250g bag, she couldn't calculate the pro-rata price for 178g.
It hurt my soul.
