These youngins will never have to deal with the struggle of calling a girl through the house phone

[Manuel Hot Pepper Lopez]

I remember one time I didnt hear the click. This boy was saying all this nasty stuff to me. After like 5 mins all I heard was "hang up the phone now"
My heart dropped to my stomach, ya'll ever been beat with a frying pan?
A big one too like this

Then I had to go outside in the hot ass sun and kneel on the concrete for and hour. I was digging in the dirt digging out cool sand to put under my knees
You think I would have learned my lesson.

Did you live in Camp 8 with Claude Banks and Ray Gibson?

What you know about telling your girl to be beside the phone at 8pm sharp because thats when you are going to call. Then her ass dont be near the damn phone and her nosy ass moms picks up.

 

[Family Man]

Before the cell phone era when you got a number you didn't know who you had to go through to talk to her

SCENARIO 1
*phone rings*
Man: Hello?
Me: "Hell...hello. C-c-can I talk to T-T-Tiffany? My name..."
Man: "This is her dad. WTF is this?"
Me: "My name is Ewok....sir. I I I go to her sch-school"

Man: "And what are you calling here for, Ewok? Tell me a little bit about yourself"

Me:




SCENARIO 2
*phone rings*
Girlfriend's sister: Hello?

Me:"Hey, this is Ewok. Is Lovita home?"

Girlfriend's sister: "What, you don't know me?


Me: " I said 'Hey' when you picked up"

Girlfriend's sister: "But you didn't say 'Hey Bubbles, How you doing? How was your day?'"

Me: "Because I don't care Are you gonna get Lovita or what?"

Girlfriend's sister: "I don't know if I want to. Why you..."

*somebody else picks up the phone*

Girlfriend's little brother: "RAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGH!!!!!"

Me:

I miss those days.

 

[Family Man]

Anybody could be listening on the line at any moment

The trick is to pick up the other line and hit the mute button immediately. I used to good off of that.

GMom: "Keisha. .. get off that phone!"
Him: "Wait, Marcus said he want some cut up."

Her: "Some cut up?! Boy I'll cut yo lil a$$ up.

That 3-way was revolutionary and clutch. You could easily set up folk or find out what ppl really thought about you.

I remember one time I was feeling this female in 8th grade, and lucky for me she was my home boys cousin. So I told him I'm digging her and to put me on. He was like aight, let me call her on 3-way and see what she thinks about you.

My Friend: Hey Sheena, what you think about my manz Mo Zeit?? He feeling you, ya know...

Sheena: UGH NO!! I CAN'T STAND HIM!! HE UGLY, WHY WOULD U THINK I LIKE HIM??!!!!

My Friend: damn my fault girl I aint know. I was just trying to look out. My bad. **hangs up phone**

Me (on 3-way in silence):

 

[(Lean Ambrose)]

My mom would lose her mind every time a girl called for me.

"there's a little girl on the phone for you"

"Is she white I can't tell "

"better not bring a white girl here. I've told yo ass"

My pop would just hit the

I swear for God this is exactly how shyt was for me...
Man I miss them days...

 

[badtguy]

Taking me back to 3 way calling and AIM. Nikkas used to be like A/s/l ?

shyt used to be crazy when you pause on the phone like "hold on is that your house or mine" or when you try to catch someone lying you use Threeway and put your finger over the phone WASN'T ANY MUTE BUTTON.


Back when 8 people used to do 3 way, and the one dumb ass accidently hangs up and 6 people get disconnected

 

[FTBS]

"Who are you? How do you know *insert girl's name here*?"

"Do you know what time it is?"

"I'm on the phone right now. Could you call her back in about 10 minutes?"

"Click" from the call-waiting right when you are getting into the convo.

The relief when she answered herself

The struggle was so real. Half the battle was getting through that first line of defense. shyt made a man out of you though.

 

[Supreme365]

older brother picking up was the worst

or my mom walking in on me while i'm on the phone pretending to be 'mack daddy no.1' and then giving me the look and draining a young brehs confidence and all of this while i'm still on the phone with the girl!!

I would go from to

Any ya'll remember when ya grandma still had a rotary and you were trying to sneak in a late night call to a girl as a teen? She wouldn't even update to a touch tone
My grandmother only moved 2 m.p.h. on her cane but her hearing was sharp as fukk. She hated her phone being tied up on calling girls those weekends I would stay with her. Old folks...
Man, me trying to dial real quiet on that old ass phone look like it took twenty minutes to get through seven digits.

Those who remember how loud those rotary phones were know what I'm talking about

"Oh you trying to sneak dial grandson"
