Drives me batty.
Do people where you live say "please" when they mean "what did you say?" I know it's a Cincinnati affectation - I do it, and yes, it causes problems when I'm on the phone with someone from another state. Just wondered how far away the custom goes.

Curious, though -- what do you say when you want someone to repeat something? "Huh?" "Pardon?"
