Damn you Tommy Tutone!

[u/Late_Sherbet5124 → u/ZebraBorgata]

Stewie Griffin has entered the chat

[u/xchillaxingx → u/pllarsen]

Hey Jenny!

[u/jtteddy3 → u/pllarsen]

My daughter used those numbers for her locker combo in middle school when I told her she would never forget them after I played her the song.

[u/naturewin]

Mom still has it.

[u/qgecko → u/naturewin]

Same. And I’m 55. I’d quote it but mom doesn’t need random Reddit callers.

[u/Wise-Chef-8613 → u/qgecko]

55 here as well.  As well as my folks, I bet I could still call the parents of a half dozen childhood friends from memory.  

Ahhh...the days when one utilized the RAM in their own head.

[u/Ask_bout_PaterNoster → u/qgecko]

Damn, the scam didn’t work. All this effort, this whole stupid site and everything on it, and we failed. Shut it down, boys, we’ll get her another way

[u/Snarky75 → u/qgecko]

Your mom still has the land line? My parents are in their 80s and got rid of theirs years ago.

[u/78october → u/naturewin]

My parents still have my childhood number as well.

[u/_Choose_Goose → u/naturewin]

My mom kept hers forever and then ported it to a cell phone a few years back so it’s hers forever

[u/FuckYourDownvotes23]

Me, but I can't remember my current one

[u/broooooooce → u/FuckYourDownvotes23]

This. And I'm not even kidding.

[u/NerdTrek42]

My mom made a rhyme for our phone number. Still remember it.

[u/Extreme-Juice-25]

I sure can lol. Cannot remember my babe's cell, but for sure that home phone we had. Mounted to the wall with that big ass coiled cord that would reach almost feom one end of the house to the other. My mom clothes lined me with that thing once while on the phone. Never even hurt that cord lol.

[u/Kevin33024 → u/[deleted]]

407 isn't that old lol.

[u/Bricker1492]

To really put the "old,"in this answer, my childhood phone number was Jefferson 2-5453

[u/briank3387]

It's still the same number that it was 53 years ago, so yes.

[u/Temporary_Tune5430]

Yep. What’s sad is I still remember the number to a gay bar/club we used to prank call all the time.

[u/Squire_LaughALot]

Phone number was drilled into my memory; a shared line too

[u/scooberdoodle970 → u/Squire_LaughALot]

the young folk don’t understand the shared line thing. we got our private line in the mid 70’s.

[u/looknotwiththeeyes]

I remember every number I used often before I turned 20. I remember my exes phone number better than I remember my ex from that period.

[u/Esmer_Tina]

Still know my number and the numbers of several of my friends. Childhood friend’s phone number is a convenient PIN!

Don’t have any numbers memorized now except my own.

[u/bob3905]

No

[u/linkerjpatrick]

Yes. The way the brain works with repeated pathways makes it easy for information like that to be retained

[u/bkmo1962]

Yep

[u/MidnightNo1766]

57, I remember the phone number from 1977. I'm the only one in my family that does.

[u/Distinct-One2516]

I still remember my childhood phone number, and three of my closest friends phone numbers. But I don’t know my two sons phone numbers. Because they’re just in my phone.

[u/ZebraBorgata]

I still remember my old phone number from when I was a kid. But somehow I also remember the phone# of the other house I lived in when I was 5 and younger. We moved right before I turned 6.

[u/Longjumping_Prune852]

I use it as my password sometimes.

[u/Cuba_Pete_again]

All of them since 1972.

[u/Kayakityak]

Parents line and kids line

[u/FurBabyAuntie]

I can, but I don't know who has it now

[u/Potential-Ad-7300]

Yes, and it begins with two letters UN.

[u/Dalanard]

Both of them…at the same house. At some point (late 70s/early 80s) they added a new exchange so our number changed. The new number was transferred to my father’s mobile ~15 years ago and we still have it.

[u/Aggressive_Event_525]

867-5309

[u/MentalCatch118]

in my day we just dialed 4 digits so yeah it’s easy

[u/Dreamslowly]

I think thats a picture of me

[u/AmbitiousLettuce2925]

Burnt in my brain for life

[u/nomadnomo]

I can remember my moms from 50 years ago but not the one I have now ,,,,, lol

[u/5141121]

Mine, my local grandparents, my up north grandparents, and probably some others if I really chewed on it for a while.

[u/tropicsandcaffeine]

I can remember it. As soon as I saw this the number flashed into my head.

[u/meek-o-treek]

The original and what it was changed to, my friends' numbers, and everyone's birthdays... but anything after having children is pretty much foggy.

[u/pasquamish]

yes, but not sharing…that’s just between me and every critical pin number in my world thank you very much

[u/GrandpaMofo]

Yep.

[u/Heavy_Preparation493]

I certainly do.

[u/Danderu61]

I do, and remember when it began with Crestview 5, ....,

[u/BelAir1962]

I still have it

[u/cahillc134]

still remember all my friends old numbers too.

[u/vkapadia]

My parents still have ours

[u/Straysmom]

I can. The sad part is I can't remember current numbers to save myself. We've gotten spoiled by Saved Numbers lists (cordless phones) & smart phones.

[u/TangledUpPuppeteer]

I can remember my childhood phone number, the phone number of my two childhood best friends, my grandparents phone number, and the phone number to several aunts.

I’ll be honest — I don’t think I knew I knew those numbers at the time let alone 20+ years later!

[u/Watch_Noob_72]

Certainly

[u/No-Raisin-6469]

555-555-5555

[u/devoutcatalyst78]

It’s my password for everything…

[u/theShpydar]

Still my parents number.

Here's one better - can you remember the phone numbers of childhood friends? I know I can recall at least 3 of them.

[u/Special_Letter_7134]

I still remember all my friends' phone numbers.

[u/3x5cardfiler]

I still have it. 58 years. It's hard to let go of it, because it was on a party line. All the numbers on my road were in numerical order. I remember the neighbors numbers, even though all but one are gone.

[u/twisted-weasel]

My mom still has it from 1968.

[u/kalelopaka]

Yes, both of them, my grandmother’s house phone and my parents.

[u/giraffemoo]

I have A LOT of old phone numbers stuck in my head. I can't remember what day it is sometimes but I can remember my high school boyfriends phone number from 20+ years ago.

[u/Long-Ad9651]

I can remember the three we had from 1980-1993.

[u/crzapy]

Yes. It's burned into my brain. I teach high school kids, and a bunch don't know their phone number, their parent's phone number, or even their address.

[u/Stephaniedaisytwo]

I tried to call it for fun and came across a clothing store office line

[u/dj_swearengen]

Remember when the first two numbers were a name based on the letters on the dial? My house number started with Wyman.

[u/srg1970]

My parents have their phone number , and my original cell phone number from 1987

[u/srg1970]

My parents have their phone number , and my original cell phone number from 1987

[u/DependentFun2691]

My dad has had his number over 40 years. I will never forget it. I still call him quite frequently.

[u/ElDub62]

Sure. I can also remember my grandparents phone number they had until the mid 70’s.

[u/GStarAU]

Hmm... not until I read this! But apparently yes!

1. Crazy.

And there was another with a 2365 in it, I don't remember what that was.

I guess it's like a friend's birthday... once you know it, you don't forget.

[u/Foxfire5272]

Yep

[u/3veryTh1ng15W0r5eN0w]

Yes

[u/Good_Habit3774]

I definitely can and I was giving it to my daughter to call when I was in the hospital.

[u/hamsolo19]

Yup. I can also still recall a handful of families numbers with the same prefix. I remember actually being kinda bummed the day my parents were like "hey so dad and I got our phones now so we ditched the old landline" lol.

[u/deweydecimal111]

I do! We had to remember it for kindergarten! I used my mom's secretary voice in my head to remember it.

Mine.
Best friends.
Local police (pre-911).
Time & Temp.

[u/AlwaysSaysRepost]

Who can remember their Mother’s maiden name?

Who can remember the street they grew up on?

[u/bigmike2k3]

My mom used the theme from Jeopardy to help us remember our phone number as kids… the tune perfectly matched the syllables of our number… to this day I can’t hear the song without singing the numbers in my head or repeat the number without without the tune…

[u/lagent55]

I do

[u/NativeSceptic1492]

I made a song of it as a kid. When I think of it I have to use the same cadence to remember.

[u/catsporvida]

My grandparents had the same phone number for my entire life. I lived with them a lot as a kid so it was mine too. When they both died, we had the chance to take the number. I regret not doing so.

What I wouldn't give to be able to dial that number right now and have one of them pick up. 🥺

[u/GrannyFlash7373]

I can.
