hold on…hang up now!!!

Whenever I am doing something, such as talking on the phone I always like to hang up when it is on an ‘even’ number. I prefer when the 10s and 5s most of all.

  although 5 is not technically an even number, it is a nice round number when thinking 5s and 10s. i prefer the last 2 digits to either be a multiple of 3 (or better yet a multiple of 9 or 7) or a prime number.

  ahhh in all my numerical neuroses 5 is the only odd number that i consider ok too! like, 5s and 10s are the best, and then the rest of the even numbers are tolerable, and then odd numbers are completely unacceptable. i understand considering it as an “even” number, even though it’s not technically MATHEMATICALLY even.

  I am exactly the same as j. – virtual high five!
  I try to end a phone call at x minutes precisely, but if the other person ends it, I just don’t look at how long the call lasted.
