What sort of mangled phone numbers have you seen people write?

Posted by Beryllium (aka grayman) Mar 14 '21, 19:27

I'm writing a parsing library that converts badly-written phone numbers into the international format for North America (+12223334444).

Responses:

I have always mangled Tidewater 4-1009 in Promised Land. It always sounds to me like Chuck Berry is singing: Tyler 4-4-10-09 -- (link*) - Peglegpete Mar 14, 20:24 [youtube]
people here also love screwing with cadence by saying things like oh-four, triple eight, 5-7, double six, 2. -- nm - mafic Mar 14, 20:21
My mom has somehow never figured out how to read out phone numbers. She does it two digits at a time. -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 20:16
it took me at least a year to get used to the phone number cadence here. mobiles are AAAA-BBB-CCC, landlines are AA-BBBB-CCCC -- nm - mafic Mar 14, 19:57
