“reblog if you ever actually used a phone with a “rotary dial” on it”
—(via beggerprince72)
Wi-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch, wi-ch-ch, wi-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch……
And getting your finger caught under the metal thingy.

Indeed.
Reblog if you’ve ever seen a rotary-dial phone that had letters as well as numbers on the dial-face and know what the letters were for. :)
I still have one I use when I’ve set up house. :)
I learned my first phone number by exchange — Kirkland 5-1570 Maybe more amazing is you couldn’t buy a phone anywhere: you had to rent it from The Phone Company. (via okideas)
My family still had a rotary phone up until the 2000s when they moved out of their house.
But then again we still had black and white TV in the eighties, never had home movies, had a mechanical lawnmower (as if our yard could even grow a lawn most years), and in general didn’t buy higher-tech gadgets than we actually needed. I assume it was because my parents had grown up without a lot and they carried on the family tradition (which comes from not having money, ever) of keeping things simple and not buying every new thing that comes along, even when they eventually had the money to do things like that. And repairing things and reusing them rather than buying new stuff. It’s getting harder and harder to do shit like that, with everything being made to break, getting more expensive to be poor.
