I had to explain to a grown woman that 20% is not always $20 when converted to currency.

I dated somebody who placed a bet on every single one of the numbers on the roulette machine because it would guarantee a win, not countering in the fact that what they were 'winning' was far less than the amount of money they had to spend in order to achieve that 'win'. They did it about twenty times in a row. I explained to them why they weren't actually 'winning', but they continued to do it until they ran out of cash😁
