And for the rest of his life, Ernie told his friends that he had talked with God.

Anecdote that nobody will care about :)
In the early 90s, our phone number was 330-7576. Every couple of weeks we’d get a call asking for someone, advise it was a wrong number, and the caller would apologize. After a few times, we talked to them a little bit and found out that the number they wanted was 330-7675. So after that, when they’d call and ask for that person, we’d say “You wanted 7675” lol.
Nothing came of it, that’s it. But it amused us. :)
Fun anecdote, experiencing something similiar. Arabic speaking people keep texting me on whatsapp and at first I thought it was weird as spam but they keep talking to me like they know me, beginning to suspect my number is just like someone else’s.
Yeah, if it’s that consistent, sounds like it could well be. heh.
