Damn I have to get a new number for my work cellphone, I suck at learning new phone numbers.

:grr: :nuke: :argh: :wtf: x(

I want my old phone number back but can't for some security reason.

Before cellphones I didn't have this problem.

1. You can request one with easy to remember numbers...

My friend just got a new cellphone and requested some really easy numbers.. ya know kinda like
(using movie prefixes) 555-1212.

2. When I first got a cell phone (late bloomer, maybe 4-5 years ago tops)...

.
...I didn't know I could look my number up on my phone, so when
I was filling out job apps and needed my callback number, for
MONTHS, I had to call friends and ask, "If you were gonna call
me, what number would you dial?"
.
:rofl:

True story.

3. I have to have the number wrote down for now.

It will take me about a month to really remember the number and not give the old one.

I had a great phone number.

4. It took me three years to learn my cell number

And longer to learn Mr. csziggy's. Of course, his was programmed into my phone so I did not have to learn it. But I did not learn mine because I seldom even turn the phone on and use it even less. I pretty much know it now, but I have to stop and think about it to get it right.

5. That's what permanent markers

and palms of hands are for.

6. Five decades of watching the NFL has drummed certain numbers into my head.

I just string together a few famous players.

Figure it's a coin-flip on whether or not that'll work for you. (Female, maybe not. Texan, maybe so.)

7. Cell phones make it easy not to remember phone numbers.

With a built in phonebook and ID who needs remember phone numbers.

Now I know maybe 5 phone numbers.

8. I know, right?

Still, it seems the only number I ever have to remember is my own!
