Over the border in the Netherlands we also do this and it annoys the crap out of me coming from another country.

It even annoys me as a native, because it makes writing down a number someone else tells you irritating since it isn't in the same order.
That is why I usually just give single digits when telling someone a phone number.
Be respectful
