Jun. 1st, 2026 10:41 pmi've read that people do not know their own phone number because they don't call it. i suppose it's worse these days because people just have a list of contacts on their phone & they just click one when needed, for the most part.
but if a person has to put down their phone number on forms for new doctors, online orders, and whatnot you'd think people would remember it. i do. i even remember old numbers that my family doesn't have any more.

Date: Jun. 2nd, 2026 05:15 pm (UTC)I still remember my old home number, which only got disconnected a decade ago when my dad passed. I know both my mobile numbers (I have a google voice number that patches to my cellphone) and my office number, not that anyone ever calls me at work. And I know my husband's number, but he's had the same one for 20 years and I've had to write it down enough times as an emergency contact number. I know one of my friends because his phone number is one digit off from a number I used to have. Everyone else, my kids included, I have to look in my contacts.
