To cut a long story short, there are very educated Americans out there that don't realize there exists different spelling in the UK to America (let alone the colonies).

and our street address is 6 which the aussie love asking me to repeat
I don't get 6 very often, but I have had odd conversations about pens/pins, and that's with workmates from different countries.
Probably a statement to avoid if you've picked up an Aussie accent.

@majorrage the second set of 3 is a triple though, so the cadence works! Otherwise it's just weird.
Although to be fair, I often find that people struggle to know/understand the word "triple". It's quite eye opening.
Same when spelling my last name and fuckwits always spell it the wrong way, which is the most uncommon way. When I spell it out and say "double" people stop writing.

The only time the 4-3-3 rule should be broken is to accommodate doubles and triples that don't fall in the pattern.

People are fucking dumb. What are you going to do?

Nah the rule shouldn't be broken for doubles and triples. The pause between each group of numbers should be enough to avoid confusion.

And I nah your nah, because if I read out
##3 pause 3## I will often get “was that one 3 or two?”

@kiwiwomble yeah if I do 88 pause 8 I get:
"Was that a double 8 or a triple? "
"Get fucked you don't know what triple means!"

And then you answer "three 3" just to make them even more confused. Works even better with double 1.

@crazy-horse I always have to spell my last name, and always have to start with 'B for Bravo' otherwise people use a 'V'
I give out my mobile 3-3-3, the wifes number is 3-3-4, my landline is 3-4...is much harder to take down a number when it isnt in the format your mind uses for numbers.
Thanks for the tip, Bobby Bagina.
