Not sucky, and I think it fits here better...
Loving Husband comes to my office to take care of something for his wife. Thoughs inside *s
LH: My wife wants her phone number put in the gate system where we live, and she sent me to do it.
Me: Sure! Where do you live?
LH: Uh... I don't know
Me: ...really? (yes, I said this out loud
)
LH: Oh it's <place>
Me: Okay, and what's her phone number.
LH: Uh... I don't know
Me: ...
LH: ...but maybe it's in my phone?
Me: ... (I would hope that with all the other numbers you have saved, one of them would be your wife)
LH: ...(looks through phone)... I don't call her very much. Maybe I should...
Me: ...(call her once in a while? save her phone number somewhere? seek immediate medical attendtion?)
LH: ...I'll just come back when I have it.
I did recognize the guy, so he wasn't a creep fishing for a phone number. He called about 5 minutes later from her cell phone and gave me the number.

It doesn't help that our numbers are almost opposites of each other. (first three numbers of mine are similar to his last four, and vice versa)
