Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
To be fair, these days most people use Smartphones and thereâs hardly ever a reason to call your own phone unless you lost it somewhere in the house or it was stolen. So I can excuse people for not knowing their number.
We have our phone number on our checks, big mistake! A lot of businesses copy it down and hound you to death. Charities seem especially bad about this.
I still remember mine from when I was 5 years old. 50 years ago. Phone: GL4-2695. . Address: 9034 NE 28th street, Bellevue, Washington. We had to memorize it for school safety.
I never give out a phone number! If they insist I always say, âWell, you have a problem! Now donât make your problem my problem! Now, are you going to take my cash for this purchase, or do I need to go somewhere else?"
It appears that Iâm the oldest of this crowd of commenters, thus and so I shall speak with the authority of the aged..Our farm phone # (where it cost a BUNCH of money to run the 2-mile line in the early 1900âs) was 2H54 and as I remember my REALLY youthful recalls, it was of the âcandlestickâ type phone, which meant one had to hold it down with one hand while dialing the number and then picking up the earpiece to get the conversation going.. that is, if no one was already on the party line. (think; âThe Andy Griffith showâ,only circa 1939) All I ever learned at that tender age was not to have my hands on the open wires when the phone rang. Thatâs a picture of me sticking a knife into the electric outletthatâs been circulating the ânet for years. Itâs been a lot of similar situations that caused me to get to be the âelectronicgeniusâ that I am today. I donât suppose you want to hear the story about how I learned not to pee on an electric fence, so Iâll quit now.

I always give them (314) 555-3845. The area code is correct but the rest is a null number.

Pluggers can remember their childhood phone numbers better than their current ones.

Yes, dial. I still use the rotary phone that replaced the one with the crank on it.
