beepers!

[whoo689]

Pay phones! There's another little piece of nostalgia that I don't miss. Are there even THAT MANY pay phones left in this country?

[whoo689]

I HATED pagers, and I HATED MORE when people referred to them as "beepers." What are you, FIVE? You don't call something by the SOUND IT MAKES. Use the name.

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

Wow, thatz some great nostalgia that I remember very well. I wasn't familiar with the other codes except 911. It always seemed like a common number just for the heck of it. I remember when my mom would go out, she always told me and bros to beep her if we needed anything. We would leave our house phone. Another thing I don't see anymore are phonebooths.

[xxJonnyCxx]

ah your voice is amazing xD your voice and the music sounds like a cinema advert :D

[dalyfilms]

wow. i forgot all about the codes!

dang i'm old.

[hellojohnathan]

Soundgarden ftw.

[melieeeboo]

[paisleyduck]

[BenRobot]

[nezoone]

[meagansxfamous]

[BilliLovesMargot]

[ASECONDCHANCEAROUND]

I never had a beeper, but I distinctly remember not understanding how they were really useful, except for drug dealers. I feel they just cause anxiety. "Oh man, somebody's calling! What do they want? What if it's important? This is going to bother me for the rest of the camping trip."

[BilliLovesMargot]

"... the rest of the camping trip." hahaha too funny!!

[vanawesome]

Man, my dad used to get so pissed at me for not replying to his beeps fast enough. I'd be all like, what the eff man, I wasn't near a phone. Cell phones are neet-o. Hooray!

[BilliLovesMargot]

my fav 'parent rebuttal" was "...so why didn't you come home when i beeped you?" the nerve! hahaha

[TheReceptionist]

You had a RECEPTIONIST beeper! Made of paper!

[BilliLovesMargot]

omg i did!!! i just realized that when you showed up!it was oh so much fun to make too... there were others that have "80085" written on them that just didn't work.

that was the winner.

[nbwulf]

SkyPager FTW...

We used to txt via pager... you just had to "decode" the message by looking at a telephone keypad. =)

My last pager was thrown off the Golden Gate bridge. My ex-girlfriend paged me wayyyyyyyy too much, so I chucked it.

And oh yea, I had a calling card... eff quarters.  (well, $0.20 back then)

[BilliLovesMargot]

and the preparedness award goes to... *music plays* NBWULF!!!!

[bearchay889]

I miss pay phones you could call the operator for free and most of the time get them to refund you a quarter by telling them the phone had malfuntioned.

[BilliLovesMargot]

i used t love that... "operator, the phone just took my quarter!" "that's not a problem sir, to who shall i connect you?" BAM free call.

[jp3d2k]

Hahaha I just thought "what if..." and it turns out: ( google patent 5443193 )

If you had one of those you'd have been set!

[BilliLovesMargot]

is it a beeper? i can't find it when i search for it!

[jp3d2k]

[pickles2626]

They were called pagers but for some reason everyone called them beepers haha I did too. I had a green one. I hated that thing to because I'd get paged and never be by a phone and then the person who paged me would be mad haha

[BilliLovesMargot]

[kristalyn512]

haha I had a beeper early in high school and I really just wanted one because they were cool and cell phones were just emerging and too expensive at first so i was like then i'll get a pager! then I was thrown off when one of my guy friends was like, why do you need a pager? are you a drug dealer? So...I didn't have it for very long lolz.

[BilliLovesMargot]

it soooo was because you were a drug dealer. admit it!!

[nenenaynee]

A 10 yr old girl came into my work and my friend and I were talking to her. She was saying for her 10th birthday she wanted a cell phone. My friend told her that on her 10th birthday she wanted a pager and the girl looked at my friend like "wtf is that". We told her what a pager did and her reply was.. "why would you want that? Just get a phone." That's when we realized we were old and outdated :(

[BilliLovesMargot]

this is exactly what this video was about! wow how hilarious!

[Maddoxhardcore]

My friend Emma had one and I envied it sooo much it was unreal so I borrowed my second ever boyfriend SImon's for a weekend and took it everywhere then got annoyed when no one paged me...

[BilliLovesMargot]

[jabazzy]
