Do you still find yourself repeating numbers back to people?

Yes! I think it is an important habit I picked up in the service. It annoys me if I don't get an opportunity to confirm what I have just heard in terms of directions or numbers. You are not alone!

Hmmm, I was always taught to repeat them back as a child, and always found it a little annoying when others don't do it. How do I know you copied correctly if you don't say anything?

Drive through speaker: Can I take your order?

Me: You can take my order

pause

Me: I'd like combo number 3 with Sprite.

DSP: Would you like to large-size that?

Me: I would like to large size that.

DSP: Does that complete your order?

Me: That does complete my order.

I also tell people my phone# is xxx-xxx-seven zero six zero. I can't remember the last "number" I pronounced "OH."

I HAVE finally trained myself to tell the Pharmacy my DOB Month-first 'cause when I say "12 July" they get confused trying to figure-out what day in December that is.

I repeat to people when there are asking directions.

LOL, the phonetic alphabet, liek if they need an address or something with the alphabet, and they can;t understand me on the phone I just say the phonetic alphabet and spell it out that way.

yeah...some times..
