I need the WHOLE number
Are people just dumb today? I've had 2 people give me the same stupid answer to the simplest question.
ME: What's your cell phone number?
THEM: xxxx
I ask for the number and I get the last 4 digits. When is that ever a good answer to that question?
I'm ready for today to be over. I've already managed to get my car stuck in a snow drift, lock both sets of keys in it, and was an hour late. I'm the only one here and I've been getting chewed out all morning.
I'm going to go curl up in a ball in the back.
Wake me up when it's over.

I hate when people give me just the area code or just the phone number.
...
Or when I ask for the social...not "may I have the last four digits of your social security number?" but "may I have your nine-digit social security number?" and they give me the last four. 🙄

That reminds me of the older folks who walk into my store and say...
