Memorizing Phone Numbers

Remember when this was an essential social phenomenon? Anyone who you wanted to be in regular contact with, you would have to actually take the time to memorize their phone numbers.
Cell phones of course changed that.
As of now, I know 3 phone numbers and only those because they are of people I still talk to who have the same phone number that they had 10 years ago.
-my parents -my aunt -an old friend I haven't called in 5 years maybe.
Of course I also know my own phone number...
Besides your own number, how many phone numbers do you know?

Heh I have definitely thought about this before...I know my best friend Lucy's # by heart. I know my mom and my grandma and one of my two sisters by heart. That's about it.

Not knowing anyone's #'s sucks when you lose your phone or when you get arrested. I think I know maybe 5 people's #s including my own. Cell phones are doing just as much bad as good.

Definitely a good thing to do. Knowing phone numbers can still be handy as someone said above.

my mate has an insane memory for phone numbers. We had this one time dealer a couple of years ago who I met through a contact. I was on the phone to a guy getting the phone number off him, and asked my mate to memorise the nunmber as i spoke it to him. He remembered it and we got our weed.
Fast forward two years and we're sitting around and they were on the chase. They asked me if I knew anywhere to get weed. I said no and then my mate said "what about *one time dealer* that we got weed off that one time?" I said "dude that was ages ago, and I don't have his number anyway.
My mate then fed me back the number. We'd only ever used it once and tweo years ago, and he remembered it. We rang the guy and they got their weed.
He just remembers numbers like mad, has a really good photographic memory or something. Weird considering he is a hardcore stoner

I have several hundred 976 numbers memorized.

i have thought about this before also.
the only numbers i still seem to remember, aside from my own, are friends old numbers from when they lived with their parents in my hometown, Coos Bay.
also i remember my grandmother's number from when i was little. she hasn't had it for about ten years. and my old home phone when i lived with my folks.
all together probably ten numbers.

I remember my number, my parents home phone number, my childhood friend's parents phone number since I used to call her 5 times a day when we were kids, and for some reason today I randomly remembered the phone number of a friend of mine from college I haven't seen in years.
Otherwise I have a little list that I keep so I don't have to remember shit.
