I had some 50 year old bartender try to be condescending with me saying i probably didn’t know how to use a dial phone. Showed her up by explaining my aunt used to have a Princess phone and had to explain that one to her
Dial phones are the WEIRDEST thing to feel superior over. As a gimmick they’re fun, as something to be used, they’re annoying as fuck. Imagine dialing a 9 digit number with those things… (Also imagine calling someone in this day and age without a gun pointing to your head)
You can actually tell hiw important an area was by the area code. If it was somewhere people called often, they would have low numbers, while bumfukc nowhere gets high numbers that take for ever to dial.
I just posted something about ‘classified ads’ in newspapers and someone asked what classified ads are.
A 30 year old posted that he now felt old after reading that question.

I just realized “dialing a number” comes from turning a dial.

It’s where we put classified information because the kids won’t read news papers!
wtf is a pennysaver
Really showing your age, there, Dagwood.
Those, uh, those are advertisements for classified materials, yes?
What kind of newspapers are you reading?
(/jk. I’m old enough to have read the comic section)
What’s a newspaper?
What is love?
Baby don’t hurt me
