| 1148925 | 2010-10-30 21:57:00 | Hi all Ok I struggled with this yesterday, I don't know my eftpos pin number, I know the letters not the numbers, was in Matamata the other day, and i was unable to get money from the atms, because they no longer have letters on the keypad they only have the numbers, am i the only person that works that way and no i didn't have a phone that i can look at the keypad to work the numbers out with me at the time, it sounds daft but when the letters are there i barely glance at them when entering my pin, but when they are not there i can't function with the keypad. And yes i am trying to teach myself the numbers, but they are just not sinking in Am i the only person that functions this way? |

A Russian scientist did a survey a number of years ago and he found that females remember names better than males and males remember numbers better than females. That certainly applies to me as I can remember all my bank account numbers including the 16 digit visa but will forget names in a flash. |

| 1148928 | 2010-10-30 22:10:00 | Excellent, i'll vote Labour and the Tree Huggers at the next election, hope they win, and give my disability some Hokum name and apply for grants and the sickness benefit, and a spokesperson role for this disability, and be set for life. How does diskeypadlexia sound? Mind you the word Key seems to upset Labour and lesbians (Key is a male object which goes into a female object the Key hole or Bronagh) so perhaps a more PC sounding numericalinputdevicelexia? |

No i am equally dumb, I can remember my Cellphone number, after 7 years, but i can't remember current home phone after 6 months, anyone elses phone number, age birthdate/year. weirdly i can remember my old bank account number from when i was in primary school but thats it |

| 1148932 | 2010-10-30 22:53:00 | For about the first year I remembered my internet banking number only by the positions of the keys on my numpad. I could only do it by just touch, If I actually looked at the keys and tried to remember what the numbers were, I'd screw it up. |

| 1148934 | 2010-10-30 23:21:00 | I remember phone numbers, all 3 of them, plus friends numbers, relatives numbers etc. Bank account numbers - there's more than one account (no, not suffix). I remember passwords, all 48 of them. I remember the old phone numbers too. I am useless at maths but I remember numbers for some weird reason. And passwords........ |
