Dam, if they dont quit calling a 0zero an O (oh) then what they hell they want..
Lady calls up and says i need this job 123absO(oh) zvb456 .. comes to pick it up and she says "hey thats not right".. I wanted a ZERO not an O.
Ok lady . repeat the code you wanted.
she repeats 123absOzvb456 Lady You got exactly what you asked for. and you just repeated it. But just for the record a 0 (ZERO) is not an O..
Her reply is .. "well the phone company calls them o's instead of 0 Zero's..
Now. I think she needs her right to vote taken away..

Oh, it's really a zero, oh, no, it may be a naught!
Isn't it a shame the customer doesn't know as much as the signwriter! (& if they did, then what...!) Perhaps it's just as well. I don't mean to be chauvenistic, but I've only ever found women like that- a bloke (customer) wouldn't make that kind of complaint, in general, I've found.

Brings back memories of my first trip to north America. Hotel clerk: "Your room number is two, oh, five" ---- I was just standing there, staring at him, while trying to make sense of what I just heard. The other funny thing is, that I must have missed in english classes, that the proper response to "thank you" is "you're welcome". I was about a week into my trip, when I figured out, that they were not all welcoming us to their country. I thought they were all just really friendly....

I believe I cured one lady from using oh in place of zero on the phone while making a purchase with my credit card. The credit card I used had 4 zeros in a row and when she repeated the number back to me she said, oh, oh, oh, oh. I told her no one has ever said that to me other than my wife. She said what? I then said, and what are you wearing now? We both had a good laugh. John
