I know let's see...

NN, ET, EB, LB... that's my sister and three close friends. There might be one or two more that I'm forgetting that I know (ironically).

Out of all the contacts in your phone, how many numbers can you remember by heart?

I still also remember two numbers I was made to memorize when I was a kid: my grandma's number and my home phone number. I haven't had them in years and when I was around 18-19 I called my old home phone number just to say hi to whoever it was and tell them it was my number when I was a kid and that I'd never forget it. I have no idea what the person on the other end thought of that, I don't think they really knew what to say but they were nice enough.

What would you say if someone called you and said your number was their old phone number from when they were a kid 10+ years ago?

Just the ones I knew pre-cell phone days. There was a time when you had to punch in people's number everytime you wanted to call them. Shocking I know.😂 so after a few dozen times it just got stuck in you head.

My brother in law actually still has a rotary phone that he would always let his kid's friends use like whenever they needed to call thier parents or something. Just to see if they could figure it out.😂

Leapfrog00 · Answer

Nada one. I use to remember people's phone numbers all the time, but nowadays people change them every time they get a new phone, which is often. I had one friend a while back that had a different number 14 times in one year, according to my phone, since I always forget to delete them.

I don't even bother anymore because of that! lol

DJB72 · Answer

I struggle to remember my own.

Stupid thing is I remember numbers from when I was a kid before mobile phones were a thing.

I even remember the number of the girl I'd have given my left nut to go out with but never got the courage to call when I was 17.

But my wife's number? "Speed-dial 1" 🤦

Due to lack of regular use... i only know my parents, lover, house phone number, my # which doesn't count lol... I should learn my brothers number sad... thank God they haven't changed since I was a child. That's why... bro's own recently changed.

Paul_in_Indy · Answer

All of the contacts in my phone are vendors and businesses and people I don’t really know. I probably remember at least partial numbers for most of them, but I don’t trust myself to remember them. All of my friends and family numbers never get typed into the contacts app; because I know their numbers.
