Default Negative percentage in data verification dropdown list?

Is it possible to have a negative percentage a in data verification list as
one of the choices in the dropdown list ? Negative percentages display
incorrectly in a percentage-formatted cell, and don't calculate correctly in
formulas. Positive .01 displays as 1% and correctly calculates, but negative
-.01 dislpays as -.01 and creates an entirely incorrect value when run
through my formulas. I've also tried .-01. Any secrets out there?
