      OK, so this seems to be a thing and people dont believe it. True story: My parents needed a new garden shack. Because their soil is very soft (sand) and the previous one sunk, they wanted to make a foundation out of concrete. (1/x)https://twitter.com/ithayla/status/1394645725573615618 …

      The foundation was planned to be about 2,5mx 4m and about 30-40 cm thick (its been a while, so Im fuzzy about this, but it was less than half a metre. Its a garden shack).

      My parents obviously didnt know how much concrete they would need so they went to Bauhaus (a chain of stores for everything building related). They asked and were sent to "the specialist for concrete".

      Yes, that was how he was introduced. My parents told them about the plan and he said, they would need a mixture of x% and x% sand - I dont know the exact ration, but thats unimportant for the next part.

      He then calculated how much concrete they would need. That apparently took a while and the specialist was calculating hard. He then said an insanly high number. My parents where befuddled. Really? Yes, yes, he said, showing his calculator. "OK", my mom asked:

      "How many sack of cement (sorry not concrete) would that be?" The specialist typed again and said: "Thirty-Five." "Thirty-Fice-Sacks of cement?" my mum asked again. "yes" said the specialist, now a bit less sure.

      "That woudl be a cargo flat full of cement? For a fondation not much bigger than the actual flat?" The specialist now got nervous "I gues, I might have made a mistake" he admitted.

      This was maybe 20 years ago but we still imagined what would have happend if my parents would have just bought the 32 sacks of cement PLUS the sand and then realized, they could just have bought the garden shack with it.

      Just checked with my mum and I realize Ive made a mistake: It was not 32 sacks, bur 32 PALLETS of sacks - he wanted them to buy something around 700 sacks of cement, which would be even funnier if my parents would have went through with it and several trucks would deliver sacks.

      You could have built a new shack out of cement!
