One of America's worst area codes, solely because it's in Illinois. I handled a call from one of its inhabitants at my old job. The inhabitant from the 847 refused to give the three-digit customer information number on her credit card as required for all transactions over the phone at the call center where I worked.

Why are you special? Is it because you're from the 847?
