How come it’s so hard for people to say zero?

What is the deal with people who say o (oh) when giving a phone number.
I work in a bank and if someone gave me a $1 for everytime I heard some replace zero with o (oh) when giving me an account number I would be stinkin rich!

I just don’t get it?

Why replace a number with a letter, it saves no time and it makes people sound like idiots.

Do these people have no education?
 
When ever I repeat the number back I always replace the o (oh) with 0 (zero), no one ever picks up on it though.
 
It’s something little I know, but when you hear it as many times as me in a day it gets on your nerves a little.
 
Let me know what irritates you.
