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?" |

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!!!

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.

He wouldn't have slipped on them if you hadn't left them lying on the floor.
