my old man lived in a rural area when i was a kid and had a party phone

4 houses on the same line with different rings to tell you if it was for you

pretty high tech

Then we got our first push button phone but no touch tone service, so you could hear the electronic dialing.

we had a wall mounted one in the kitchen that had a 30' cable from it to the receiver.. so you know.. you could be mobile

To this day, my parents will still stand in the exact same spot - in dining room two feet from where corded phone hung from wall in kitchen - when talking on the phone. They've had a cordless phone for 15 years, but can't break the habit.

phones had those little switches on them that flipped it from a tone to little clicks

so you would press 6 and hear "tick tick tick tick tick tick"

then you'd press the next number

You suck!

It's the dumbest rule ever.

What the hell is wrong with no touch?

Just ask Pecafan Fan - his dates throughout high school were all no touch.
