It’s an inanimate fucking object!
Love the video
Man imagine the privilege.
There are whole third world countries that still NEED to use these types of phones LMAO 🤣
You’re surprisingly wrong. Landlines exist but there is basically nowhere left in the world where landlines outnumber mobiles (except places like North Korea, obvs). Mobile networks are literally cheaper to run than landline networks and that gets more and more true as the quality of infrastructure drops.
The payphone is by the school lockers. That brings back memories 👴🏼
My school had an official “smokers’ corner.” Oh no, not for the teachers. It was for the kids.
And it was inside the building.We had a smoking room, but it was only for seniors.
I think what people don’t appreciate about this is that it’s not just about slamming the phone. The other person can HEAR you slam the phone, it’s loud as hell. And that knowledge is what made slamming it so satisfying
With the og flip phones you should still somewhat do this. Must’ve been a slight delay between closing and the call disconnecting. Slight enough to hear those plastic casings clap.
Yeah especially if you did it while they were in the middle of speaking.
I did it once to a boss who threatened to fire me if I didn’t cover a Sunday shift. I said I quit instead, and they started to backtrack.
I close my eyes and relive that detectable moment sometimes. I remember everything about it. My roommate was smoking a menthol cigarette by the window and her dog barked at the sound of me slamming the receiver home.
I think this might be my Nexus.
How’s your knees feeling OP?
Having worked in construction, I can report, you can totally still do this!
… One time per phone, unfortunately.
I had one of those Nokia candybar phones back in the late 90s early 2000s. nothing was more therapeutic than just chucking the phone across the parking lot at mach 1. walking over to the pieces, assembling it, and going on with your day.
I like this. I can slam it down without breaking my cell phone
People slam game controllers and replace them all the time. Same would go for this handset. Might even find a “retro” one that’s sturdier. You could murder one with those old school ones.
Or you can just simply slap your face. It has a similar sound effect.
Maybe this is why articles are always saying “So and so SLAMS Such and such”. Nostalgia
I think that comes from pro wrestling.
i mean if you slam a modern phone hard enough…
If you slam it hard enough you can still do this.
Especially with the glass iphones.
gingerly puts down a $600 iPhone, trembling in anger “…good day, sir.”
…yeah, we might need a generation of phones built to be a tank, just so we can properly communicate our wrath to the other person.
Huh. Maybe a ‘soundboard’ app, which allows you to hang up the current call with a sound effect?
Or a USB-c to RJ45 converter so you can get an old phone from the thrift shop to carry around in case of angry phone shenanigans.
RJ11 converter* -An RJ45 is too big.
Technically either would work, but may as well have the proper esthetics.
I would love to have a soundboard that played sounds in calls. I’d answer the phone like Wolfman Jack all “caller, you’re on the air! gorilla noise, honk”
Could be a thing soon, Android has added “sound enojis” that imo were probably the worst idea ever and only exist for kids to annoy their parents. It’s a soundboard with like 3 sounds on the call screen when you’re on a call. I could see them eventually allowing custom ones.
That’s crap. If you’re gonna give my kid a proper customizable soundboard so they can get creative with how they fuck with me at least that’s something. This is just lord of the flies conch shell shit
