Who's old enough to remember telephone party lines. NO, not the 900 number type party lines.
The kind where you shared a phone line with 3 or 5 other homes. Each home had it's own ring sequence, two long one short etc. Of course you couldn't call out if someone else was talking. Lot of listening in on others phone calls.
Ok, this does make older than dirt.
Lol, nope, that was waaaaay before my time. That's when my mom was a kid.
wow wagon we had the rotary phone when I was growing up and 2 tv's in a household was for the wealthy

Oh yeah, but to invest in a touchtone was too much for my "paper route" income.
yeah just a little too old for me, but do remember my moms cordless phone with an antenna that was probably 6 feet long, My brothers and I would act like it was a sword. LOL
ive heard stories from people who think they are old. Nope never used one of those
had a party line when I was a kid in 1970. if ya picked up phone, and someone was talking, ya were SUPPOSED to hang up! amazing today, with all the eavesdropping the GOVT does today, that ANYONE could do it back then! OH and YES I have gone into a full phone booth, closed the door, dropped a dime in, and made a call!
Nope just a youngin here. I know everybody has had that phone hangin in the living room or kitchen with the 100ft cord and you could talk anywhere in the house pretty much. Hell when I see a payphone/phone booth it makes me feel old with the technology kids have these days. Imagine Iphones and facebook in the late 80s early 90s Sheesh Id have about 30 kids lol
I had two cans and some string when I was younger. Then the mobile phone the size of a microwave in a bag with a cord. LMAO
yes, I was there rubbing sticks together making fire watching my 3 channels on tv ,4 if you twisted the antenna just right ,you are not alone.
There ya go, "
well i haven't seen a phone booth around and i live in nyc where you had one on almost every corner
That's when my mom was a kid.
