We had one that had a really long cord on it and when my older sisters would walk into another room with it, I'd run up and unplug it from the base then disappear. Fuck I had some good hiding spots.

Slam it so hard you could make it ding. If you were still mad, you could then yank the cord out of the wall. If you still weren't done, you could throw it across the room, and it would be just fine, when you calmed down, plugged it back in, and set it on the table again.

The phone would, but the wall impacted would have a hole

This was so unbelievably satisfying….Fuck you! SLAM … brrring …SLAM … brrring … over and over again

I would usually call my friends from lowest to highest digits in their phone number

Flip phones are where it was at. Conversation had you mad? Bye! CLACK!

You can still do that if you don't mind buying a new phone after.

And the ringer in the phone was a physical bell with a little magnetically-actuated hammer, so if you slammed the receiver down hard enough, the bell would actually resonate for a little while after. You know how some people use a bell slowly fading out as a meditation tool? That's the association I have for that sensation.

Oh man, this comparison is going to stick with me; it's one of my favourite things I've read in recent weeks

Thanks! I debated whether to include it, because it's definitely one of those "well my brain sure isn't normal!" things, but now I'm glad I did.

Back when we used to *69 everyone’s mom.

Indeed it was, but I'm also happy to be alive these days, now that's it's very rare to call someone and when it's normal not to pick up because you hate being on the phone with someone. Most calls are scammers and telemarketing anyway. Text me and come over if you want to have a conversation.

Back in the days when you could dial numbers using the hook. Great for those taxi phones in supermarkets that had the keypad covered over.

I got the 2024 moto razr+ flr my work phone when ATT had it on sale for almost nothing since nobody was buying them

I'd forgotten how satisfying it was to hang up by snapping the phone shut.

I used to take the order for food deliveries They had usually mis-dialed so I'd never hear from them again. I'd offer extras too just to jazz it up a bit

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

that was never my favorite way to do it. instead, when we were talking to somebody we didn't like, we would just rattle it in the cradle for a good five to ten seconds before hanging up.
