Seems like yesterday

"And... and then you put your finger in the little hole and whirled it around...."

"DAAAVID, GRANDMA'S HAVING SOCIAL BOUNDARY ISSUES AGAIN"

We had two phones, but one phone line, which meant you had to be careful what you said.

It weighed 5 lbs, hung on the wall, you couldn’t take it in the car, and it didn’t take photos. It was a dark time.

Stop bragging about drinking from hoses, folks. This is how you reach out to let the youths know just how bad you had it.

I'd get told off if I spent too long arguing on it with my punk boyfriend.

The granddaughter needs to STFU

If it rang after 9pm on a school night a relative was dead

One phone, no answering machine.

And we were horrified when we heard our parents had to deal with *party lines* when they were kids.

AND THE MAN FROM THE PHONE COMPANY CAME AND BOLTED IT TO THE WALL!

REAL.

(fine, gimme the pills)

If the only thing my phone did was make and receive calls, I’d give it away.

I remember having to share a line with a stranger's family.

If anyone in your house picks up the phone the Internet dies

My dad would call our mom's mobile to yell at us to stop using the internet so he can call the landline

The horrors of wanting to play Quake when Mom wanted to talk to the neighbor...
