Tricked by my eyes

Similar story here. I once inadvertently wrote "XXXX dollars and 00/100 cents" on my check. The bill was actually $ XXXX.75. So, for a 75 cents mistake, I paid a month's interest on over $1000. Such a maroon.
I always round up to the next dollar on every payment.
 
Like when I go to buy a pack of chicken, a 5 pound pack but when I bust it open there’s a 1/2 pound wet panty liner lining the tray

Well, the liner would have been dry when the package was put together...and, the scale was most likely set to zero with the weight of the tray and liner on it.
