people who don't follow the standard bah-bah-bah...bah-bah..bah-bah rhythm when telling you their number
The UK has recently changed numbers in several exchanges including ours. The old 01705 123456 is now officially 023 9212 3456 but many people (including my wife) can't handle the new parsing and quote it as 02392 123456. My wife gets upset with my using the new format, even though it has a meaning (the area code is 023 not 02392).
So I know exactly what you mean.
