Is that the letter zero?
The depressing titular question of this post wins for sheer number of times I've been asked it, but this one wins for style:
I tell a customer to enter several digits (it's a telephone number, used to dial up the internet). One of the digits happens to be an 8. After finishing, the customer asks:
"Was that an 8 or an h?"
"Uh, it was 8, the number 8..."
"Oh dear. I better fix it then."
