I was too young to read numbers anyway!
Remember an incident many years ago. My sister and I were just nippers at the time. It used to be the case that, every saturday night, our neighbours from over the street would come over and generally get drunk and play Trivial pursuit with my parents.

The night was getting on a bit and still no sign of said neighbours, so my dad decides to give them a cheeky phone call to see where they are. However, me being so young and never used a phone before wanted to dial the number, (can you see where this is going?). My dad, a bit worse-for-wear decides it would also be a laugh to have my sister utter the line "My dad says you've to hurry up and get your arse over here!" as soon as the neighbours answered the phone.

How was I to know the neighbour's phone number was only one didgit different from that of Mototrola security desk.

"Excuse me miss,can I speak to your dad please?", followed by muchos apologies from my da to the peeved security controller on the recieving end of my sister's line.

Long time lurker, first time poster. No apologies, for anything.
