Teenagers Trying to Use Rotary Phone

We had a party line to save $. We'd pick up the receiver and listen to make sure no one else was using it before placing our call.

God, what is so difficult about it

Carrying cash & coins is unsanitary, inconvenient & on occasion unsafe.

Also if I find out later that there was a problem with a transaction, my local bank (who issues both my debit and credit card) is SAVAGE about getting me my money back.

"I dont carry cash" stops a lot of conversations I dont want to have, as well.

Nothing, if you have done it before. It is probably like shaving with traditional gear for the very first time.

My mother's home still has dial phones, and they still work just fine after 60 years.
