1. I was about to ask where the fuck do you live.

Of course, I guess you wouldn't be able to even post that if you didn't even have that.

4. She makes it seem so complicated!!!

The one take away from this: You need to dial all the way to the bar. Other than that, the letters and numbers were easy to figure out.

I grew up with rotary phones, but I think most people who didn't could figure it out with much less instruction. (Probably the instructions that came with the phonebook)

5. Oh my... Our elementary school had a giant dial phone something like that.

Our town had five digit phone numbers and, except for the rich kids, party lines.

Along with dialing, we were taught party line etiquette.

Classrooms also had giant model clocks with hands that could be set to any time, and in upper grade math classes, giant slide rules.

6. o versus 0

"o" versus zero is killing me. ITS ZERO!

7. The old phones also said "Operator" with that o/0

"Dial "Oh" for Operator!!
