- prepend 5y agoMy number is always 212-867-5309. And it works great for returns. Comically, it seems many others use this as I frequently find loyalty points already there. I’d like to find the club of likeminded folks. Sadly more places are requiring validation.
- chana_masala 5y agoIs the number arbitrary or a reason you chose it?

- prepend 5y agoBelow links to the song. It is arbitrary I suppose as it could be any number that the songwriter worked into the lyrics. It’s also funny when telemarketers from other countries aren’t familiar and accept it as a real number.
- akudha 5y agoYou’re missing the point, I think. Lying won’t help, as very few people would do it. Most people would just give their number - mostly because they don’t realize it is shit practice to collect numbers, some because they don’t want confrontation. By politely pointing out the absurdity, we can maybe raise a tiny bit of awareness. I am sure at least a handful of people behind me in the line noticed.
