My Dad is Lazy

My parents & I got into a discussion during dinner...
Today I went over to Kelly Services & updated a bunch of information as well as taking several tests - typing & application knowledge stuff. The application tests included knowledge of MS Word, MS Excel, & MS Access - <sarc> man where they tough </sarc>.
The typing tests on the other hand were the most annoying typing tests I've ever taken. For the average person that doesn't know much about computers they're probably fairly standard. However, with my <sarc> vast amounts of knowledge </sarc> my brain wouldn't stop...
- Why the hell would an application force you to type in "0.00"?
- Who's idiotic idea was it to force a person to add ".00" to a dollar amount with no cents (& no sense? i.e. "$5" couldn't be typed as "5", but had to be typed as "5.00")?
- Why in hell would you have "5 sets" in a quantity field? A quantity field should be an absolute integer in most situations... How many times do you order 5.25 sets of shoes, 1.5 pairs of jeans, or -10 magazines? Granted there are times where this is possible - keeping track of 10.35 shares of a stock, returning bad items (therefore a non-absolute value, but this should really be handled differently), etc
- ...
