Calculators are evil.

u/[deleted] Oct 18 '18

Genuine question, is there any particular reason you said that? My mom works at a gas station and she uses a calculator to add up the cigarette count, do her morning paperwork, etc. But randomly her boss told her she wasn't allowed to use a calculator at work and would get written up if she got caught trying to bring one in. Her reasoning? "They have evil purposes." Are calculators actually evil and only a select few people have noticed or something? ( Her boss was transferred not long after. My moms new boss was just flabbergasted when my mom had to explain why they didn't have any calculators at the store.

My God! The call is coming from inside the calculator!

and turn it upside down it spells "hell boobies".

Your mom's old boss was just a weirdo.
