I'm so old I Remember when:

Exactly! Even while getting yelled at I was laughing about it.

I loved untangling the phone cord too.
To this day I sort of half expect there to be a phone fixed to the kitchen wall. It just seems the normal way to me even though I haven’t had one for decades now!

I mean the darn cord is basically a rubbery slinky...coiling up is what they do!

My boss had a phone on his desk, and the cord from the handset to the phone was NEVER tangled. I commented on it one day, and he said he never had to untangle it, he just didn't twist the phone around when he hung up.

He left and his replacement had that cord in a tangled mess in 3 days flat.

My daughter did have alot of freedom. Not as much as I did just cause it's just different times as in as a kid I was always with friends outside and like said had to be home when the lights came on. Kids just aren't like that for the most part but she did have the freedom to go. To me Kids need that for social interaction and street smarts. I don't think it's good to shelter a kid then all of a sudden kid gets let out at 18 or whatever and has no street smarts. Even worse when they are 25 or 30 years old. By that time they know nothing of real life and half way through it. They're left on thier own into the real world.

I tight rolled mine as a teen it was the style, I also really liked the girls guess jeans. The ones with the zippered leg ends. Dems were the days. Oh and my Giraud and z. Cavarriccis. I have a big collection of Giraud I could probably sell for a small fortune. Even got the black and purple stripped shorts everybody had to have.

To untangle, we'd have to hold up & dangle the end & let it spin, bit by bit, 25 feet worth of spinning (hence the 15 minutes)
All the while, getting yelled at for "letting" it get all coiled up & tangled in the 1st place.

Just unplug the cord from the handset and run it through your fingers a few times, it'll de-tangle in a jiffy. Former secretary here, didn't have time to spin the handset.

I agree, but I also think it’s the culture; people lack professionalism and don’t care. I have attended 75% of college on zoom but I can still speak appropriately to a supervisor and take negative feedback as long as it’s done properly (ie. show me what I did and how to fix it - don’t just say it’s wrong) .

I remember watching Soap. Richard Mulligan, center of back row, went on to another sitcom called Empty Nest. Early nineties.
