I memorized my credit card number

The good: I don't have to pull out my credit card every time I want to pay for something online.

The bad: The fact that I have memorized my credit card number means I've been buying way too much stuff online lately! :lol:
 
Nah, I always memorize my number. That way, I can pay for things online or over the phone without having my wallet handy!

Sucked when my wife left it in the ATM a few months ago and I had to get a new one, and memorize it all over again.

But only five digits (and the expiry, and the CVV) changed.
 
Yeah I always remember mine too, it just saves fiddling around for it. I do buy too much stuff online though.
 
Yeah, I've got my main one memorized. threw me for a loop when the number changed a few months back, Christmas blazed the old one into my brain, I gotta unlearn that now...
 
I know my Social Insurance number, my Medicare number, both of my bank account numbers, and two of my three cc numbers by heart. I use online functions for everything but I keep my browser cache cleared so none of my numbers are ever actually saved to my computer.
 
I'm the absolute opposite. I have no idea what my credit card number is or my account numbers. I struggle with having more than one pin number at times.

Congrats, you've the mental capacity to memorize 16 digits?

:confused:

I memorized my credit-card number and that 3-digit security number eons ago.
 
I have neither my credit card number no social security number memorized. This way if someone decides to try and torture me for that information I can't give any up!
 
Unfortunately that leaves your info wide open to anyone with a Klingon mind-sifter or a Romulan memory scanner.
 
your thread reminds me of that 4chan gem:

Yes, but I haven't tried to memorize it. The only reason I have it memorized is because I've been using it way too much.
 
I not only haven't memorised credit card number; I have absolutely no intention of trying to memorise it. Years of doing various pointless exams made me allergic to wasting my valuable brain capacity memorising menial/boring things I actually don't need to memorise and since my credit card is right there in my wallet......

Quick, recite the possible side effects of mirtazipine.

Here's a little bit of inside info: few doctors really truly bother to memorise lists of side effects. Mainly because while you can do so, and statistically you can rank them by frequency across a population taking the drug, for any given individual taking the medication, what side-effect they get is much more random. Populations are predictable, individuals are unpredictable. Sure, common things are still common, but it's pretty much a standard list that covers loads of different drugs, followed by a reassuring "... and of course, most people don't get any side effects at all, and even if you do, it's likely to pass within a few days..." ;)

(there are a few important exceptions that are worth remembering and looking for, but that's the general sidestep most doctors will use. Shit, I shouldn't be telling you these secrets... ;) )

If someone complains of something weird/unexpected after taking a drug, that's when you start looking things up. :D
