Remember the 646 area code episode of Seinfeld? Back in the day all the native New Yorkers had a 212 area code, so if you ended up with a 646 you were clearly a newbie to the city.
After Elaine’s number got changed to a 646, new guys she met wouldn’t call her!
I think Seattle feels the same passion for its 206 area code, and I’m feeling a little insecure about my 425 number. Will I be taken seriously in this town??
Case in point:
Her: “And we can connect your building security code to a local 206 number and you just buzz people in!”
Me: “What if I have a 425 number?”
Her: “Unfortunately we can’t connect it to a long distance number. It has to be local.”
I felt like Elaine in that video: “But it’s not long distance, it’s just different!”
