When I get a second phone call and answer it, it puts my current phone call on hold. It then has an option on the screen to switch between calls, along with a button that I think merges the calls? Never tried that one. When I hang up on the second call, it switches me back to the first call automatically. I’ve never heard it called “call waiting” before so I’m not sure if this is what you’re referring to or not, though…
I think that was what they originally called it, Call Waiting, back in the landline phone days. I just never had a landline phone, my late father was too paranoid to ever get a phone installed, so I basically started cutting my phone teeth on cell phones around age 33…
Haha this is kinda hilarious. I’m in my late 20s and, reading your comment, I’m like “oh man I can’t imagine skipping over landlines and going straight to cell phones, is that really a thing?” And then I realized that, yeah, a majority of the people younger than me probably did exactly that. But I also still consider the Wii a “new” game console, so I might just be frozen in time or something…
Because it is. It only came out…
does the math
…whoa. When did my hair go grey? When did nazis infiltrate the government???
Jesus christ!!! How long was my nap???
Oh boy, how long until things start making me feel old?? I’m still waiting for that day to come!
To be fair, there’s a baby picture of me. I’m no more than 5 days old. I look like I’m already sick of life’s shit.
What can I say? This world has just always been full of bullshit, and I hsve no tolerance.
Like shrinkflation. My last bottle of Dawn said 70oz. The one I bought last week was $0.70 more expensive, and it’s 66oz.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuucking bullshit!
Nah, most everyone had landline phones back in the 90s, it was more or less just my stubborn and paranoid dad that refused to get one.
But yeah, shit happens 🤷
Oh I know, I just thought it was funny that the idea of someone not having had a landline was weird to me, until I realized that most people nowadays don’t have them! We just had one of those “plug directly into the phone line, no electricity needed” phones until 2006ish because my mom was paranoid about caller ID for the longest time, so I get it :)
And I now have a free Walmart WiFi account…
