This has just made me feel old. I'm the same ageKnowing I’m technically old enough to have an adult child going to university this year (I’m 33 this year) I still feel 18 myself
I remember the ones with extra long cords so you could wander around the room LOL. We never had one in our home so whenever I saw one (mounted on the wall especially) it was the coolest thing to me, for some reason.My nana had a cordless phone where she could just pick it up and go to a different room - I thought it was so futuristic!
I ALWAYS wanted one of these, they alawys seemed to have them in american tv shows didn't they? I always imagined I would have one as an adult but alas now I don't even have a landline phone or numberMy nana had a cordless phone where she could just pick it up and go to a different room - I thought it was so futuristic!
I think the first thing that made me feel old, a very long time ago (I wasn't at all old), was meeting young people you had met as children and them not remembering you as I always remember this situation happening to me as a childI find myself increasingly saying things like "back in the day" or "it was different when I was your age". Then I realise it makes me sound old.
I also have to stop myself from saying "you get taller every time I see you!" to my 13 year old nephew because I remember when people would say it to me as a kid and it used to annoy me.
@AnderbeauJohnson , is your name from 'The Golden Girls'?My nana had a cordless phone where she could just pick it up and go to a different room - I thought it was so futuristic!
Do you live in the US or Canada? I ask because I only remember seeing those phones when watching US television - the long cord and wall mounted. The first landline phone we had (in the UK) was some crappy thing that you couldn't walk 2 feet with away from the base that sat on a telephone stand/table with the phone books stored underneath.I remember the ones with extra long cords so you could wander around the room LOL. We never had one in our home so whenever I saw one (mounted on the wall especially) it was the coolest thing to me, for some reason.
I still have a landline, I guess that makes me feel old but I've been glad to have it multiple times and I'm never letting it go
It is!@AnderbeauJohnson , is your name from 'The Golden Girls'?
"I lost Anderbeau and her beau"It is!
Speaking of phones how about...
When you had to press the button 2/3 times to get to the right letter while texting?
Bonus round...
When you had to pay for dial-up internet on a per-minute basis
