I have a handwritten addresbook even though all my phone numbers are in a special email address I compiled I titled “Addresses”. (up until now I have no cellphone).
Last night when I saw my friend’s GPX said “Go to East 241st St,” I realized we were going to pass the corner of the street where I grew up and directed my friend, over the advice of the GPX, to our destination.
I don’t know how to use a calculater; I’m a real luddite. Once I was returning 12 deposite bottlesd, grouped by 3s in rows of 4, and the clerk needed a calculator to see how many bottles they were!
Attractive women should know their own phone numbers because at the bar guys are going to ask “What’s your number?” and you don’t want to give your REAL one by accident.
While working retail some years back, I watched as a customer counted out a stack of twenty dollar bills and other currency and change to pay for his purchase with the precise amount. He became quite outraged when he realized that I was recounting it (“You just watched me count that, you &#^**!”)…until I handed him back the extra twenty he had inadvertently given me. Even careful counting is not foolproof…calculator or not…
Classic example of CYA,my friend. You did the right thing,and that sucker should have been damned grateful for your conscientiousness. I hope he turned a nice deep shade of red when you handed him that twenty!

Because of calculators, no one knows how to add/subtract/multiply/divide anymore….

and why did a clerk need a calculator to figure the change I would get from my dollar at the 99 cent store?

Because of calculators, no one does math any more.

Because of low cost manufacturing nobody knows how to darn a sock, sew on a button, repair a toaster, etc. Just throw it away and get a new one.
