So aside from friends, family and work, what numbers do you have in your cell phone that someone living in the neighborhood might want to have in their phone.
I have:
TPD 231-6130. See a crime occurring, or someone or something suspicious? Call TPD. See a broken water pipe after hours as I walk the dog? Call TPD so they can a hold of the emergency water crew . See a shopping cart on Davis Island Bridge that could easily get knocked over into the roadway? Call TPD. Drive by Rivercrest Park after hours and see a Port O' John turned on its side? Call TPD so they can notify the after hours Parks people.
Carrollwood Lowes (249-6091) and Florida Avenue Home Depot (933-0302). Instead of wandering around the store looking for a particular item or looking for a associate, while in the store I call the main number and their customer service reps not only tell me what aisle I need but whether it is stock. They can also page a associate to my location.
Cappys (238-1516) Blue Sea Seafood Restaurant (234-5085) and Stephanno's (232-9486). Hot food waiting for me instead of me waiting for hotfood. Often I am away from the house when we decide to order there.
I C E - In Case of Emergency - Susan's name and my home number
TECO - 223-0800 - When the power goes out, no stumbling around in the dark looking for the phone book.
Whatis in your cell?
Should I also call TPD if I run out of toilet paper and cant make it to Walgreens?
ReplyDeleteNo - That is what the archaic device known as the telephone book is used for. Emergency toilet paper!
