Trying to play red alert or age of empires and having to fill in a box for baud rate, but I have no idea what baud rate fucking is. Now we need to make another phone call and start the whole process over again.

My first telephone was a rotary. More than once I didn’t call pizza Hut because it had 3 0’s at the end.

Lmao. I remember a rotary but I was too young to be calling anyone.

Ooh, remember the cordless landline phones? I’d always see how far from home I could walk before they’d cut out

I can still recite the home phone number I had from 10-20yo.

My childhood home phone number is more burned into my memory than my current phone number.
