what's something or a situation from your youth that the younger generations of today would go..."seriously dude?"

...we had a tv that had no remote...dad would make me change channels by pressing buttons or turning knobs on tv
...i know how to write cursively
...i didn't own a cell phone until my 30s
...i knew what "be kind and rewind" meant on a sticker on a vhs cassette...let alone beta
...i played video games on an atari console...before that pong 🤣
.... classics like "all in the family"... 'welcome back kotter" and "charlies angels" were quality programs....
.............. the list is endless..

Before there was caller ID’s we would call up people and tell stupid jokes. Like ask a store owner if he sold Prince Albert Tobacco in a can. When he replied “Yes”…we would tell the owner to let him out. 🤪 silly stuff like that. My cousins came from Missouri to visit one week in the summer and we were bored and one cousin mentioned putting egg white on our faces for a facial. So we did that but it was icky and she said it would work as it dried. So we turned on the fan to dry our faces off and then started talking into the fan to change our voices. We also went on walks in the rural area and met up with my friend down the road and my cousin had a hoot about me and her talking and our Okie accents.

@NativePortlander1970 Or answer the phone by saying “Joe’s Meat Market, What’s Your Beef?” 🤣

@cherokeepatti My friend would call and say, "your goat is in my garden." Of course, they would say they didn't have a goat. So he would answer, "I know, he's in my garden."
