Hey Old Fvcks

[Stupid Fitz]

hate phones.

Hate talking on phones. I never even answer mine. It is basically a mini computer for me.

[HeinBallz]

I often wonder this myself.  I honestly don't remember what life was like without a cell phone.  For fucks sake, I lived nearly 20 years of my life without a cell phone and now every time I break it/lose it/ forget to charge it I constantly feel like someone died and everyone's been trying to get ahold of me and they can't.   rough ridin' horrible feeling.

You know what else I can't believe?   How in the eff did I bank without the internet?  Seriously?  Do any of you little fuckers even know what a deposit slip is?   Jesus Christ.   Was cleaning out my attic a couple of weeks ago and I found some old bank drafts from the 80's that the previous owner apparently lost up there.   It was full of checks that they had written and had been returned to them as receipts by their bank after the transaction was complete.   Some of them were written to the local gas station in the amount of 5 dollars!   Hey buddy, Where the eff are you gonna go with a gallon & a half of gas?  Holy eff.  Do any of you other old fuckers remember paying for crap with checks?  And how it took like 2 weeks for the money to clear?   & how if you were traveling across state, people wouldn't take checks because they didn't even know if "Manhattan State Bank" was a real bank or not?   Jesus Christ.   I often have to remind myself how rough ridin' amazing all this crap really is.    And PLANES!!! OMG,  People fly through the air.  On things.   Made of Metal!   Heavy.  rough ridin'.  Steel!   crap that wouldn't even float in a rough ridin' lake if you dropped it in.   Metal?!?!   Are you guys understanding the shear physics of this?   HOLY crap!

I don't think I've written a check in several years. I get very annoyed when I'm checking out somewhere and someone in front of me gets out their checkbook. It seems like it takes 30 minutes for someone to fill one out.

Also remember getting direct deposit, but still having checks and being at the end of the budget. You could write a check a day or two before you got paid and know you would make it b/c the direct deposit would beat the check going through. Those were the days.

hate phones.

WHY?!

hate talking

After we would drive home from my Grandpa's he used to make us call, ring twice, and then hang up the phone. This served many purposes. He would know we were home safe and sound, no long distance charge if no one answers, and he didn't have to talk to any of us again.

My mom still pays for things with checks.  It is extremely upsetting.

And agree on the planes.  Marvelous inventions.

[jtksu]

I think the average plane would float, assuming there were no holes in it.

hate phones.

Exact opposite of this. it's my watch, communication device, etc. Pretty much everything.

meant the metal wouldn't float. Unless it was formed into a boat shape.   Really just trying to illustrate how dense things can float through the air.  and how rough ridin' amazing it is.

Couple years ago spent a couple weeks in NZ with a group of 25ish.  None of us bothered to pay for overseas coverage so no phones for the whole group. It was a real pain in the ass figuring out which bars people were at, but really enjoyed setting plans and having a general idea of what was going on for the day.
