I had some 50 year old bartender try to be condescending with me saying i probably didn't know how to use a dial phone. Showed her up by explaining my aunt used to have a Princess phone and had to explain that one to her

I just realized "dialing a number" comes from turning a dial.

Dial phones are the WEIRDEST thing to feel superior over. As a gimmick they're fun, as something to be used, they're annoying as fuck. Imagine dialing a 9 digit number with those things... (Also imagine calling someone in this day and age without a gun pointing to your head)

You can actually tell hiw important an area was by the area code. If it was somewhere people called often, they would have low numbers, while bumfukc nowhere gets high numbers that take for ever to dial.
