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

[TEH]

@ a young nikka sittin next to da boombox speakers always havin some kinda R&B shyt playin in da background juuuuust loud enough to help narrate da mood wheneva I was talkin to a bish.

Thought I was smoove as hell wit mines in junior high.


And I inherited mah olda brotha's phone line when he left for college so I always had dem hoes just call me. Aint hafta wurr bout dat otha shyt.

That macking music yes indeed

My grandma had a yellow rotary phone had to dial one number, wait for the shyt to go back, dial the second number...

Exactly. Now try to sneak dial on that joint. No matter how careful you dial, it's still noisy as hell. Don't fukk around and let yo finger slip outta one of those holes. Busted

My grandmother's phone was yellow too. Must've been a popular color wit ol folks.

shyt reminds me of making a mixtape for a girl

shyt, even calling your boys was a pain in the ass. Your boy got some weed and theres a party so you trying to plan some fukkery but you gotta get through the parents first

Dad - "Hello?"
"Hi, Mr. Smith, its Shogun. Is Jay there?"
Dad - "Shogun! How's it going?"
"I'm good, thanks." :"You?"
Dad - "Doing well, what are you boys up to tonight?:
"Uh, I'm not sure. Probably just hang around, maybe see a movie."

This thread done brought back all the memories . When you call a girl and then somebody picks up and you hear a grown man's voice. shyt would have me like to in seconds. AIM saved the day plenty of times

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:

young niccas don't understand the struggle for real. When we set up a second line in the house strictly for internet, I would disconnect it late at night and have girls call that second line thinking it was my private phone number

I did the same

This is too real and I had this convo with one of my buddies the other day. The youngins don't have to go thru this, and damn if that didn't take some testicular fortitude as a young man back in the day.

Dads be like "what do you want to talk to her for" or "yes she's here but she can't talk right now and she can't talk tomorrow either so don't call then either".

And then the times we were talking on the phone late, and her pops would pick up the phone in the parents bedroom and say it was time for her to get off the phone. stress me out

It's a coming of age event these young bucks don't have to deal with now.

I remember calling a girl I used to crush on in elementary schools phone and her dad picking up

His voice was so deep and scary brehs

I hung up right away and waited for her to call me back

Picture a Lil Yachty type fakkit calling your crib asking to talk to your baby girl
