> A woman asked me for the name of someone they could contact on my behalf. In moments like this, you realize you don’t actually know anyone’s phone number anymore. By some miracle, I had recently memorized my best friend Britt’s number because I had been putting my grocery points on her account.

I definitely would be screwed in this situation. Time to remember by sibling’s number

Reminds me of doing civil disobedience -- you write your attorney's phone number on your arm beforehand.
