Credit Card Conflict

You're making a purchase over the phone using your credit card. The sales agent asks for your card number. You give the first four digits and pause slightly. Just as you're giving the next four digits, the agent says "Uh-huh," drowning out your second batch of digits. The two of you play "after you, Alphonse" for ten minutes, continually drowning each other out.

Agent: What's your credit card number, please?

You: 1234- (pause)

Agent (simulataneously with your next four numbers): Uh-huh.

You and Agent together: Let's try this again; we're having a credit card conflict.
