She argued with me and insisted that there were 5 quarts in a gallon. I told her that unless there has been a drastic change in liquid measurements recently, there are 4 quarts in a gallon. She insisted there were 5 quarts in a gallon as they sold gallon jugs with 5 quarts in them. I walked her over to the oil and showed her the label on the "gallon" jug where it said one gallon + one quart, which equals 5 quarts in the (not a) gallon jug. She was shocked and said you learn something new every day! She HAD to be at least a high school junior! I thought basic measurements were an elementary school thing...

Where's the facepalm emoji...
She must have gone to school in Chicago.....Bob
