I'm stuffed full of Burger King (y'all made me need the ersatz tots) but all the sauce talk is making me mentally hungry.
You want to meet the real me now?

We've only had this type of phone protocol (add the number 1 before dialing area code and number if your area code is different) for, like, 4,000 years or something! The hell?
Actually, I grew up in a town that had a switching station, so we never had to do this. I had to learn when I moved away and still do get confused. But that doesn't excuse your Fuckcake O' the Day unless s/he grew up in my hometown.

When Massachusetts split dialing codes the most recent time, you had to start dialing the area code, but not the 1. So now I do get a little confused sometimes.

I have to dial 1-310- from inside 310. And I get mad about it every damn time. This started probably three years ago. grumble.

Emily is me. Also, on my cell, I don't have to dial 1 for any area code, which also just adds to the confusion.

We've had that in this area for a while now. Although, you don't need to dial the area code for DC number if calling from DC, but you do need to dial it if calling from a VA or Maryland number. I just dial them all by default.

Atlanta did this too, and it was fine once you got used to it - the 1 was just for actual long distance.

This drives me nuts, though, because between that and cell phones, I'm so accustomed to dialing area codes that every time I have to dial someone from work who's also in 312, I have to hang up and start over w/o the area code.

Oh, I meant to tell everyone, come visit Madison. Johnny Depp and Christian Bale are here filming Public Enemy. Well, filming in Columbus for the next couple of days. Then somewhere else and then in Baraboo. So, I'm sure if we stake out the Hilton, we can find their rooms.

MD has this too - area code for regional calls, 1+area for long-distance. But IIRC, if you do dial 1+area for regional calls, nothing bad happens. Your call will still go through just fine.
