You know what makes me sick?

So many places now, when they list their telephone number for folks to call, they will give out 1 + the area code, then try to be clever and spell out the remaining digits alphabetically. That aggravates the crap out of me. Why can't they just give us the stupid numbers? Sometimes when they spell it out, you have too many numbers. Like 1-800- GIVE-ME-A-BREAK already. Sheeeeshh..
