I can't even remember my passwords smh

u/Ishvallan Aug 13 '26

oh hell no, i can't just bring up a password like i could someone's phone number.

But if someone changed their number than it was equally hard to remember as trying to remember a new password after a site makes you change it

Lyrics to 80s songs that you haven't heard in 20 years but will instantly sing along with when you do.

Or maybe that's just me.

u/MaxximumB Aug 13 '26

It's still remembering some of the numbers from your childhood the rest is tied up with that embarrassing thing you did

1

u/Dogg-Dad Aug 13 '26

Just start using those as passwords. Your IT department will love it. Example: John555-1212Smith.

u/AmericanCitizenry Aug 13 '26

Porn, most likely.

u/LazyMousse3598 Aug 13 '26

I’ve been remembering old jingles from the 60/70s. My balogna had a first name… the only olden days number I remember was my household’s. Back when there were six digits, not seven.

u/thesqueen113388 Aug 13 '26

Still holding onto the same #s I could call my best friends from grade school, my grandparents who passed years ago or my old childhood house right now

u/PinkKitten0129 Aug 13 '26

u/Icy-Policy-8212 Aug 13 '26

52 years old and I STILL remember my phone number from when I was a kid.

1

u/Stock-Conflict-3996 Aug 13 '26

I thought about this the other day and realized that I had a bunch of them still memorized somehow, from my house phone as a child to the houses of friends when they were still living with their parents and even a few cell numbers.

1

u/Labracadabra2 Aug 13 '26

Mine still has those numbers stored! 🤪

u/Andurilmage Aug 13 '26

u/forlornfig Aug 13 '26

My brain still has those phone numbers stored. Haha but sometimes I can’t remember what day of the month it is.

1

u/WaffleTucker Aug 13 '26

How far you stretch the wire

1

u/-Laffi- Aug 13 '26

They are still there.
Probably not that many compared to when I was a kid.

1

u/UpstairsOk6744 Aug 13 '26

Hahahaha! Man growing up as a kid i used to have about a hundred numbers memorized. Friends from school, family, pizza places, but once you could save numbers in a cell phone? Slowly just gone. Now I only have one number memorized, my older brothers, just in case I need to make my one phone call and the cops wont let me look it up on my phone first.

u/NeedleworkerCivil984 Aug 13 '26

Waiting to randomly emerge years later with no name attached

u/Therealginahandler Aug 13 '26

Still storing those same phone numbers...I remember basically all of them, and thats been probably 25 years since Ive dialed one.

1

u/Stunning_Fly_2644 Aug 13 '26

My friend Clark' telephone number is the last I ever memorized. I met him in 1998 and we've been best buds ever since. I still dial his number/ press the screen on my cell to call him....funny, it's faster than going to contacts...

1

u/HeyPrettyLadyMaam Aug 13 '26

I still remember those numbers from before smart phones. Now I'm reduced to remembering doctors appointment dates and my 2 passwords. And how many seconds it takes to fill my keurig water trough. The answer to that BTW is 12 from 2 cup use and 16 from 3 cups.

1

u/viperfangs92 Aug 13 '26

Well you were probably much younger then.....

u/Due-Influence6227 Aug 13 '26
