People 30+, what's something that happened back your day?

I remember dial-up internet, where the phone and internet were on the same line, and if someone in your house wanted to use the phone you had to stop using the internet for a bit 😁.

I remember pay phones.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays phone booths were definitely places my little sister and I played in. The local pharmacy had one inside their store and the old ladies behind the counter used to shoo us out because of our clowning around in the booth.

@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays I haven't seen one since 2006 I think 🤔...

@Peapod The one with the seat inside?

@Fernie Heck yeh! The folding doors were a hoot too. I have no clue why we loved that particular phone booth. It could be that it was actually inside a small store and it was kept so clean. The rotary dial was also tons of fun. Every once in a while, some change would pop out of the little holder. That meant more candy for us!
