See your friends used to call on this thing called the house phone. There was even this thing called 3 way calling. So your friend will call you then you'll use the three way feature to call someone else and then so on. Sometimes we would have 6 of us on there. Usually on a Sunday afternoon and we would go through all the latest news of who did what while listening to songs new bands had put out over the last few months that some of us may not have heard.

@MrSmooTh If you lived out in the country, we had a thing called "Party Lines" where all the phones on your road had the same phone line and only the number of rings told which house was being called, anyone could listen in to anyone else's calls.
