How many phone numbers do you have memorized?

[Joe Norris]

Random question...I know

but I was just thinking about it....I only know probably six or seven numbers by memory

I thought I'd start a pole, but I figured that we'd have people that would "admit" to knowing 100+ and then complain that my pole was flawed

when I was a kid, I knew all my friends' numbers....now, I don't even know my girl friend's number

I know my brothers old number, my dads, my moms, my old house phone growing up, my friends house phones growing up. My ex's old number. If you change it anymore, I don't make the effort to memorize it.

I know 5. Mine, mom, dad, brother, and 1 good friend from back home.

As a kid, I knew a ton more. All my friends home numbers, in high school knew the gf's, and a bunch more. Now, I just put it it in the phone and forget about it.

Re: How many phone numbers do you have memorized?

I'd probably say around 30 or so. I remember a lot of random numbers, like restaurants that I used to order from before I had a cell phone with a contact list.

I remember my old phone numbers...I'll post them so you can call whoever the poor saps that live there now...

620-343-8993
785-242-5508

I also remember by high school locker combination (28-10-21). It's been 15 years, and I hardly ever used it. I have no idea why it's in my head...

Re: How many phone numbers do you have memorized?

I knew more before the age of cell phones. I can remember numbers of grade school/high school friends, but have no idea what my wife's cell number is.

Re: How many phone numbers do you have memorized?

I know my old home phone number from when I was a kid. I know Minsky's River Market. I know my Mom's. I know my work.

That's it. I couldn't even tell you my wife's.

Re: How many phone numbers do you have memorized?

Interesting…I think I knew everyone in town’s phone number when I was a kid…

Now I’ve got:

My cell
Husband’s cell
Parents’ house
Mom’s cell
Dad’s cell
Our ranch
The restaurant my parents would always go to and leave us at home with a babysitter
One good friend from back home – her parents’ number
My in-law’s house
My cousin – whose number is randomly one away from mine
My office local
My office toll free
My direct line
Office fax
Our Providence office – not sure why that’s the only location I know

Actually - a lot more than I thought I knew.

Re: How many phone numbers do you have memorized?

Probably about a hundred. I have completely random, useless numbers still in memory, such as my childhood home's phone number (drilled into my head as a kid, in case I got lost), the Lawrence Journal-World (my first official employer), Time and Temperature, various friends from Junior High. From adulthood, very few. I too have become reliant on the cell phone phone book (and SIM card) for numbers.
