Then the usual like friends and family. Oh, restaurants that I order frequently. Old bosses and coworkers. </p> <p>Oh, if I have to make a payment for any of my utilities, they are also in my phone. </p> <p>If my phone were to get stolen or lost, I would be lost. Speaking of which, I need to backup my phone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-look-at-your-contact-list-on-your-phone#post-1636921 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:08:57 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1636921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a bunch of doctors, my pharmacy, three of the clinics I work in, and the rest is family/friends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-look-at-your-contact-list-on-your-phone#post-1636912 Thu, 15 May 2014 14:06:11 +0000 Torchwood 1636912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try to add any number that I know I'll call more than once or twice, or any that I need to recognize if they call me. That could be anything from doctors to restaurants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-look-at-your-contact-list-on-your-phone#post-1636878 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:58:42 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 1636878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know my parents phone numbers and I know my husband's phone number.

Especially stores where I ask about promotions/what's in stock (Costco, Target, Grocery stores, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-look-at-your-contact-list-on-your-phone#post-1636681 Thu, 15 May 2014 13:19:23 +0000 Cole 1636681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finally started adding places like the pharmacy, doctor's offices, our gym (I couldn't even tell you why I keep calling them but it happened so many times I just added them.) It makes life much easier. I also started starring places on Google maps so I can check the traffic between here and there and take an alternate route. I kept having to look up a few places and it drove me nuts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-look-at-your-contact-list-on-your-phone#post-1636536 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:56:08 +0000 Koolbreeze 1636536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have friends, family, our pediatrician, pedi dentist, trash service, Chinese takeout, Japanese takeout, DS1's future school, dermatologist, our landlord, and more I can't remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-look-at-your-contact-list-on-your-phone#post-1636472 Thu, 15 May 2014 12:47:16 +0000 littlebug 1636472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly friends and family, but also all of our doctors, the vet, dentist, daycare, my hair salon, the nail salon I use, and a pizza shop we order from.
