Anne Ominousi just realized that there are prolly many adults out there who have never heard a phone like this ringing
@rustoleumlove Here's the phone ringing! (rings better now, I actually went in and cleaned all the contacts since)
Ring.... Ring.... Ring...
Lenora@ai6yr @rustoleumlove my parents owned a phone like that
@rustoleumlove @ai6yr I owned a phone that had a rotary dial but it was a slim phone
Paul_IPv6@FaithinBones @rustoleumlove @ai6yr
ah, the extra long, coiled handset cord!
our kitchen wall phone had one that reached all the way down the hallway and just barely under my sister's door.
you could kill yourself on it if she was on the phone to her boyfriend.
always fun doing the spin/untangle move every week or two when it got too knotted up.
@paul_ipv6 @rustoleumlove @ai6yr my brother would put a pillow on the floor along with a drink and snacks and relax while he talked to his girlfriend for over an hour every night.
@FaithinBones @rustoleumlove @ai6yr
so fun.
my dad didn't want to pay for call waiting, so my sister tying up the family phone was not popular.
@paul_ipv6 @rustoleumlove @ai6yr it wasn't popular in my house either. My Dad was constantly yelling at my brother to hang up the phone
@FaithinBones @rustoleumlove @ai6yr
ah, the dad classics:
"get off the damned phone so someone else can use it?"
"does anyone other than me ever turn off a light in this damned house?"
"stop standing there with the fridge door open like you're trying to air condition the whole house!"
"you're not going out of the house wearing that, are you?"
