Did anyone even announce that we had to start dialing 801 now? It took me by total surprise. Just like that time that my stairs tricked me into thinking there was one less than there actually was and I missed it. I tried to call my parents at home and hear, "Welcome to Verizon Wireless..." I didn't listen to the rest because that was clearly not my house... Unless my mom picked up a robotic accent and renamed our house from "Beware upon entering" to "Verizon Wireless." But knowing my little brother and sisters ability to change their voice to trick you, I called again. When "she" answered and said "Welcome to Verizon Wireless," I fired back with, "I know its you, you annoying little freaks, now give mom the phone." But the robot proceeded to tell me that she is now charging me an additional 200.00 for the month for disorderly conduct towards a machine. I asked my fellow housemates what was going on and one of them was smart enough to know that we are now required to dial the full ten digits. Doesn't the phone company know it is hard enough for peoples normal sized fingers to dial just seven numbers on their tiny telephones that have buttons the size of grains of sand. I know my fingers usually dial 235 when I am just trying to push 2. So now I have to waste another precious 1.62 seconds of my life dialing the extra 3 numbers. Doesn't sound like that much right? Well I place about thirty calls a week, so that is 48.6 seconds a week, 2527.2 seconds a year and if I live until I am 70, 123832.8 seconds are wasted on dialing an extra 3 numbers every time I make a phone call. That is 2,063.88 hours of my life WASTED on your extra 3 numbers. Do you realize that that is two thousand plus hours that I could be using to learn to play the oboe?

Does that include texting as well??? Add those hours up BABY!! Thanks for making my day. I loved it.
Haha! I had no idea either! Retarded!
Yes and I think it is retarded to have to dial the ten digits and I agree with you it is a waste of precious seconds
Wow! I had never heard of this. :)
HAHA! well if you were not too busy playing with your "my little ponies" you would have read the piece of mail they sent you regarding this woman! haha! my poor kids are now FORCED to memorize even more!! ugh seriously Utah what next?? will we have to input a 9 digit zip code!
yeah it is soooo annoying! Every time I fax something at work, I had to do the area code and I forget!
Hey, you think taking that time is bad. What about me and my bad memory. I have to find a piece of paper, write down the otherwise memorized phone number and then add 801. It's a sheer miracle if I get the intended party. Love you, G-ma (well now I can't remember my password so you will never get this comment)
