You know you've been doing to much online spending when....

[neomits]

When you can type in your Credit Card number by heart. LOL. Has anyone else been able to do this or am I the only pathetic poor guy.



P.S.
We need to start moving on in our website messaging. Leave the attack updates for the sections that are set for that. I'm not trying to be disrespectfull just....

 

[Jokeram]

I used to be able too... not anymore..


it is good to get updates here... we can look at one place to get news...

 

[Cooltech2k]

My Room mate can...
I However have to pull out the card every time

 

[mithrandir2001]

I've committed my CC number to memory a good year or so ago. Yes, online shopping is the main reason for that.

...your credit card bill is almost as much as your school tuition bill.

 

[gygheyzeus]

Know what's worse? Since I'm 17 I use my dad's CC for any online orders... I've used it so many times I've memorized HIS card.

I've also installed WinME so many times that I know my serial # too.

 

[IcemanJer]

it's just another long string of numbers that I've committed to memory...

 

[ucvb6]

lolz....not only have i committed to memory my credit card numbers but the toll-free numbers for the banks so i can call and check to see how much money i have available to spend.

yes, i need help(or a full time job) i prefer the latter, but give me a break, i'm still in school

whooooa, yeah okay that's more impressive!

Wow dude.... why so many installs. Sounds like you need a new OS or something but maybe there is a good reason for it

Whoaa... Reminds me of my buddy. The foo has some kind of super brain or something. Junior, and he's already been through the highest math class our school has to offer, *damn foo made me feel stupid for being a senior in there*. The guys also one of those stereotypical nerds. When doing a format and install, he breezes through any win setup. Win95, win98, win98se, winme, win NT, and win2k. He knows all his numbers. He also knows his Counter-strike, Office, and starcraft serials. Its scaring me just thinking about him.

 

[The Dancing Peacock]

if I use a number enough, I'll remember it. Phone numbers, Fed Ex tracking numbers, CC numbers. If I use a phone number more than 2 times, I will remember it. Some people have a knack for remembering numbers, it's wierd....

 

[randomlinh]

i did a lot of shopping w/ my mom's CC... i know it by heart.. even after a 1.5 of using my cards

 

[NutBucket]

I knew I was in trouble when I could do that so I just canceled that card. Got three other ones to replace it

 

[RossMAN]

I used to be able to but then CitiBank sold me on their 1% Dividend card and changed my cc number. At least I remember the expiration date, like that'll do me any good.

 

[Androck99]

My CC number comes to mind about as quick as my SSN!!

 

[BlueIce]

Like a year before, yes.
Now with all the single use numbers, I'd be crazy to even try to remember each and everyone and their exp dates.

 

[mattyrug]

Even Worse, your Win98 CD-Key............
how bad is that?? I have other Friends who are Anandtech Members who can confirm this!!
I was at a point where I had to do MANY re-formats, and Re-Installs, that it's commited to memory, and I'm a guy who can't remember his B-Day, or SS#!!

 

[amb#cog]

mattyrug speaks the truth. I die laughing everytime he's done it.

I don't even know my drivers license #, but that CC# seems easy, despite it being like 3 times as many #'s.

And I used to stay home on my day off to save money. :Q
Now I spend more if I do.

 

[p0tempkin]

I've got it pretty bad; I have:

(2) Visa CC#
(1) Office CD-Key
(1) Win98SE CD-Key
(1) Win2000Pro CD-Key

I'm pretty good with memorization though. All CC#'s have a pattern to them; not mathematic, but rhythmic.
