And when people leave you a voicemail and say their number so quickly you need to replay it six times to get it down on paper.

'Oh' is perfectly acceptable as a pronunciation of zero. As in 'Oh Eight Hundred Hours" or "Double Oh Seven". That said, I always quote the first digit (the zero) as "Oh" due to it being the tradition to say telephone number dialling codes that way, and any others as "zero" because they often get misheard as the number 4 when appearing within a string, perhaps due to my broad Lancastrian accent's flat vowels.Given that the thread is over 920 pages long, it's odds on that this has already been mentioned. But I'm not going to trawl through the whole thread to check. Anyway; people, when reading out a phone number saying "oh" seven eight etc etc. Oh is a letter, zero is a number.
Note the thread title; Stupid little things that bug you.

People who charge their phones at the pub.
That Walkers have decided to stop making Sizzling Steak flavour Wotsits.
Adverts on phones, the exact moment you go to press your phone screen, they load and make the whole page move down and you press something else which then loads up

Yeah....it's come down to mis-hearing. "Oh" confuses foreign call centres. Best to say "zero". I never remember shit like that, though. "Zero, fuck off you waste of space" doesn't quite cut it.'Oh' is perfectly acceptable as a pronunciation of zero. As in 'Oh Eight Hundred Hours" or "Double Oh Seven".

It's best when they come to the door and say "Don't worry I'm not here to sell you anything". I just reply "Okay, bye" and shut the door. They hang around for a bit, perhaps try ringing the bell, but they leave eventually.The old , How are you today ? Fuck off and sort the problem out !

You go through what the problem is....then they ask you again! I've got a real thick manc accent...it's difficult. They have really thick foreign accents! The best call centres are the old Geordie ones!The old , How are you today ? Fuck off and sort the problem out !
