Yeah, the only worry is someone saying mine fifty four. And you don't catch 5.

But that's pretty easy. Sorry I didn't catch that could you do it one number at a time?




"Was that sixty four, as in six-four?"

"Sorry, no 54, five-four."

"You said five ... four?"

"Yes, five ... four."

Doing the thing you want people to do is actually a pretty good strategy.

Recognizing when people are employing this strategy on you and intentionally not doing the thing is good fun too.
