Friday I was trying to get a car service for my son to get to his school in Bay Ridge. Eastern Car Service wasn’t answering their phone — which usually means they are super busy.

So I decided to call Arecibo, the next best car service in Park Slope. I am one of those people who remembers phone numbers for years and years.

I haven’t called Arecibo in more than a year but the number came to me. They picked up right away.

"Hello," the dispacther said.

"I need a car," I said.

"I don’t have a car. Mine is stuck in the snow. I can’t drive it,"

And I’ve just reached my downstair’s neighbor, Mr. Kravitz, by mistake. Oops. I guess I’m not so great at remembering phone numbers anymore.

I coulda sworn that was Arecibo’s number. Their number really is:
718-783-6465 (it’s nothing like the Kravitz’s phone number).

PS I ended up calling Eastern and they picked up.
