You're baffled by new technology.

The5rivers · 03-24-2021, 04:05 PM

When I try to explain how I kept in touch with people in high school, I say they would page me and then I would have to scramble and find a landline or payphone.

The shock and horror of people realizing I didn't have a cell phone in high school lol. And then asking "what's a pager?"

A couple of sayings from 70s TV:

Up your nose with a rubber hose - said by Vinnie Barbarino on Welcome Back Kotter

Sit on it - said by Fonzie on Happy Days

Tommy-G · 03-25-2021, 03:59 PM

Did anyone have a pager you called into an operator and she would transcribe a message into words??? It was like Texting before Texting...but as The5rivers said you had to scramble for quarters and a pay phone. Most people weren't waiting around at a pay phone longer than 2-4 minutes and we Outtie!!!

Quarters? I remember dimes for a pay phone!

Buug959 · 03-25-2021, 04:05 PM

You know what the following references:

Here I sit broken hearted,
Paid my dime and only farted.
Yesterday I took a chance,
Saved my dime but shit my pants.

I think TiMSport might need to start using the ginkgo biloba that he's mentioned a couple times.

Haha, and I'm the old guy.

Just kidding and having a little fun.
