AIBU to miss the phone on the wall

[Sassielassie]

I understand the irony of posting this on social media.. but for those of you out there of a certain age... does anyone else miss the days when you had to sit down in the house to use the phone? The kind with the big curly cord attaching the handset to the phone.
I miss when people used to sit down and take the time to actually have a proper conversation with each other. No distractions. No third party conversations (which was thought of as v rude)Just nice long chats catching up on everything in your life.
Im fed up calling people who put me on speaker while they clean the kitchen or drive to pick people up or put me on hold to take another call or have other conversations with people who walk in the room while im on the phone to them.
I dont want to text everything or picture my life or put my whole life on fakebook. I want to speak to another human being but im beginning to feel like the only one who wants to actually talk. When did everyone become so busy that they cant take time out anymore? Rant over! Sorry (maybe this is why no one WANTS to talk to me lol)

Yanbu! I still have a proper Landline and have at least 2 really long phone conversations a week-most of my friends live miles away. I love those conversations, they are the only time I really laugh, like proper getting the giggles. They usually happens in the evenings.
If people ring me during the day there are too many distractions, and if anyone puts me on speaker or simultaneously talks to someone else I just say call back when you're not busy because I can't bear it.

Weird thread.

We still have a landline with a 'big curly cord....' One handset in the dining room, and one on the wall in the kitchen.

We live in the sticks, so having a mobile phone as our 'main phone' is not gonna happen.
