Not laughing at you or anything or putting you down but as an "old" person who has never had a cellphone in my life and just uses a landline it is always wild to me how many people don't know phone numbers of important stuff in their head.

Like I know my dad, grandparents, close friends, work, doctors office, pharmacy, any place I use regularly I just know all of those numbers in my head and it is always wild to me when people have a phone issue and like don't know their parents number.

Again I get it in a cellphone world where people change numbers and everyone is just used to it being programmed but it still is something that is hard to grasp to me.

It's not that people change cell numbers all the time. It's the fact that people use all of their contacts as a speed dial so they never type in the number when they make a phone call. This leads to never memorizing the number. If you put your friends number in your landlines speed dial then you'd probably forget it eventually.

I was incorrect, I tried the find your phone thing on my laptop and was able to call it.

Thank you so much for the tip!

That's great news. In the future, let me suggest a password manager app. It allows you to safely save log in info, phone numbers, notes, etc in the app and use it across phones and computers. All you need to remember is one secure password to access the app itself. I use 1Password at work and home and it's saved my butt a few times.
