Girl says she'll call back with a quote...


Obviously she had to get a man's verification/approval before making a decision.

I don’t think anyone read your post.

X: Hello, what does your widget cost?

W: $1

X: Cool, I’m going to go figure out how many I need and I’ll call you back.

X: I need 512 widgets, I am ready to give you $512.

W: I confoosed… might call you back, might not.

Today I learned that those pretending to be autistic aren't... They're just socially awkward and retarded.

They likely have some sort of ERP they must enter all quotes/orders in to, and there's likely a queue to enter it. You're in line behind the contractors that do daily business with them.

Hmmmm


If you quoted the entire sentence you would see I'm not saying "you are writing it down" I'm stating "Your writing it down"

As in... Your writing down the above post highlights that you are indeed illiterate.


ETA: that's an example of a possessive determiner being used to modify a gerund.

More importantly, would it take you an hour to calculate that?


In your infinite knowledge I’m astounded you failed to realize you’re not their only customer and your quote is not the only thing they had to do today.

Functionally illiterate……

“Writing” vs “righting”

did you correct something or put pen to paper?

No... "Your writing" means the word writing is a noun.

For any of these “we’ll provide an estimate” businesses, simply figure out the fair price you’re willing to pay and call around and ask if they’re able to do it.

Don’t let them send a guy or pull any other bullshite. If they can’t do it then say thanks and hang up and call the next guy.

If I tell you I need 360 board feet of 1x6x12, and you've told me the board foot pricing, then your righting it down would be: 360 @5.15 = 1854.



What does “your righting” mean then?

Allow me to use another gerund for you.

Your not understanding is laughable.
Your being confused is humourous.
Your typing an emoji was a futile attempt at an insult.


Alternately...

You are not understanding. It is laughable.

……….”right”.


Dude I’m making fun of you because you misspelled “write” as “right” and then called people functionally illiterate. That’s high comedy. But I love semantics…by chance are you building a church??? Then we could add rites to the equation

Voice to text while I drink coffee and read her quote which matches to the penny.
