Yeah, happens to me all the time. But I have learned to deal with the burden.

My parents had one that was hard-wired into the wall, per "code" at the time the house was built.

Every other phone in the house fit into an outlet that looked like this:

Over the years, I swapped all of them out for the modular (RJ11) connections.

Struck me funny as hell when I went to do the one hardwired phone in the kitchen, and my mother tried to tell me I couldn't do that, due to the building code. I did it anyway.

And yes, building code had been changed, I found out later. I'm such a rebel.

I tear the tags off my pillows and mattresses, too.

Gawd, I remember telephones before there were even jacks. When we moved, we were almost cutting edge; we had DTMF (touch tone) but not a princess phone. I called our own number on the SxS or 1ESS sometimes; if you hung up at the right time it would ring your own line. Phones can still be dialed by banging on the hookswitch, you know. The courtesy phones can be made to dial long distance. I have a couple of the dial phones, and, um, I know someone who has a couple of butt sets. I could be such a phreak. 2600!

I installed an answering machine for an older friend (that makes them really old) and they had one of those that her son had wired incorrectly to a new one. They used to sell adapters. First phone we ever had was a 'party line' where you shared the line with other homes.

We had that well into the 80's.

As a young man we had a wall mounted crank phone and a party line...every one on the line had their 'own ring'...ours was : a long, 2 shorts, and a long. You heard all the calls/rings for everyone on your line. Made it easy for all the neighborhood busybodies ( old neighborhood grandmas). They heard every call and knew who it was for. To eavesdrop on someone they just heard the person's ring and then picked up the ear piece and quietly listened in.

No kidding, whoda thunk? This was back in the late 50's for me.

Anyone else have one of the key fobs with a touch tone recording on it to speed dial a certain number? I saw it in a movie recently and laughed because I had one in the early 90's.
