Mover's Math. Yech.

While talking to a mover and asking for hourly rates, the guy told me that there was an additional charge for every 15 minutes after the first hour, with the hourly rate being $120. So I asked if the 15 minute rate thing was calculated as 120 divided by 60. And he said in an annoyed tone, "Or 120 divided by 4". 15 times 4 is 60. It has been burned into my brain, thanks to the pissed off mover guy.
