Anyone remember the times when you had to wait for someone to get off the phone?

This is sort of the Mid 80"s era

I wonder if people have to go threw that still..hmm, strange thought......but I'm strange ....so ya..

It was a little frustrating back then, waiting for your family members to finish their phone conversations just so you could call a friend to tell him to come over. I think and hope those days are past us all. It was painful.

I remember having to wait for my parents to finish with the phone to get back on RuneScape...

Hell ya, but why you trying to put us old heads on the spot!! lol

Dude, I'm so sorry, I actualy just thought of that now. Aaw who really cares though, we are all kids at heart anyways. Just numbers :P

Oh yes I remember. My mom could talk for hours on the phone.

When cellphones became normal.. Back when Nokia 3210 and 3310 were the newest and best, I told my friends to simply call me on cellphone, as the home phone were usually taken.

Now that's some old school history right there, see how painful that was.. that's what I'm talking about. Ouch, pls never again.

Nokia 3210 and 3310 hahaha, amazing . That post right there just made those 2 phones relative again. Dinosaurs now, wow. Thanks for the nostalgia boost.

No

Yeah, i used to have to wait forever for my sister to get off the phone. Girls man, they just talk forever.

I'm messing with you, it's all good!! lol

Near the end of landlines run, late 90s, I was in college and had to run to Walmart once a week to buy a prepaid phone card, in order to call family and friends, long distance.

Good old times with cellphones... I think had a Ericsson GA628 before the 3210 :P

I get nostalgic thinking about pay phones.

I remember it, and I don't miss it. I didn't get DSL until 2003. I remember plugging the Dreamcast modem into my phone line so I could surf the Internet until I actually got a computer.

Don't remember those days
But dial-up was a pain in the ass

I remember having to wait for someone to put the phone down so I could get back to Diablo.

well, now you wanna talk to someone but thanks to cellphones they're so distracted, either texting, checking the internet or are on their Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, or taking phone calls at inappropriate times

Yeah.. it was better back then.

Not only that but the phone was in one room, usually the kitchen. Try having phone sex while your mom is making a casserole. Not impossible but awkward as hell.

yes. and i remember having to memorize everyone's phone numbers

I'll never forget that dial-up tone.

What ? It was such a fun sound to hear.

No, I do my best to forget about those early years of 33.6k modems, one phone line, and *shivers*...AOL

I don't remember waiting.... I remember severing my sisters' calls with a modem, apologizing, and then picking up the phone while she yelled at me.

I'm a guy. I make 60 second phone calls twice a week. A 2 minute break in a multi-hour conversation is fine.

I remember using the other phone to spy on calls.

No. My parents werent gabby motherfuckers.

lol so many options now...if there mobile is busy they might even be able to speak and put other caller on hold, but if its emergency u can msg them on fb or w/e,,or u can even try skype them etc...and so on, maybe they on psn so msg there lol, not hard to contact people these days

I can remember when you had to wait for your neighbor to finish with the phone before you could use it.

yes i do. i so miss those days.
