I used to teach middle school math. We had a clause in our disclosure statement that students and parents had to sign and return to me. The clause said, "cell phones are not to be used during school hours for any reason, unless given specific permission by a teacher or school administration". If we saw that violated, we were supposed to confiscate the cell phone, put the student's name on it and turn it in to the principal. The student could go to the principals office after school to retrieve their phone. I caught a student texting while I was giving my lesson instruction! I took it away, placed a sticky not with her name on it and gave it to the principal. Later that day at lunch, this young lady was shaking like a leaf! SHE WAS HAVING WITHDRAWALS ABOUT HER PHONE BEING GONE!!!!????? Seriously????
I miss the days before cell phones because when the boss calls and wants you to come in early or pick up an extra shift you don't really have an excuse for not answering anymore. "I forgot to turn my ringer back up" only works so many times lol...I deliberately didn't set up my voicemail account because I don't need it. If I DO miss a call, I can see who called and just call them back. (If I feel like it-unless it's the boss unfortunately...) Most times I'd rather text anyway. That's the ONE good thing I like about cell phones: as I get older and forget stuff, I can just look back thru the conversation to remind me what we talked about last.
I have never texted. I've had cellphones and pagers, before smartphone existed, but never a smartphone and i never used them for texting. Oh, i've used ICQ, MSN Messenger and IRC to chat with people online, but not with people i could talk to on the phone.
ROTFLOL soooo true. So glad I got to see & experience the world before smartphones. I have an old phone where you turn it to dial the # as a display and my 6y/o so fascinated by it, had to explain it all, she was Wow! Bill, you’re FUNNY! ❤😂
I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE"S SAYING... i LOVED answering machines because my cat answered them!!! Still wondering what those people thought when the call connected with MEOW? MEOW?
3:43 I started the annoying habit of texting my older sister the same message 10 times in a row within a minute, then repeat the process in half hour intervals until she answers because: 1) I once needed to ask her a question that was somewhat important and she doesn't have voice-mail and she never thought that maybe she needed to call me back. 2) She isn't one of these people who are glued to their phone so she leaves it wherever and often can't find it, let alone bothering to check it. 3) Eventually one of the 4 other people in the house will say, "Hey, I think I hear your phone ringing."😂
I wish we could get rid of them! Both my husband and I and I hate them! I don’t use ANY short forms, I also use proper punctuation. I worked hard for my education and I refuse to dumb down what I’m saying or short form anything. I try to keep my usage to a minimum. One game only to enhance mental acuity, as well as religious apps that aid in my peaceful life. I challenge everyone to cut their consumption of social media in half at least. You will appreciate your steps. Blessings to all 🎄🎄
My stepmother: Excuse me, but I need to make a call. Someone else on the line: Well, I'm on the line right now. Stepmother: Yeah, and you've been on here for 2 hours! Give other people a chance!! 😂
That’s true about party lines. If you’re a teenage girl & some frog hasn’t called you, then you check the wall phone to make sure it’s still working, ha
Bill, they still make dumb, flip phones. I also have a smartphone. I call it my book. It is only linked to my internet and I only use it to download books from Kindle. I keep it in the bat....er....the reading room.
i was catching up on my night owl sleep mom texts me photo of a turkey, sitting on Santa not your turn yet fat boy. One of those inflatable holiday decorations one eyed who cares delete my eye lids are more important
A lot of us are out there yelling with him, which is how he got as rich as he is. Sorry, but we're not all dead yet. Give it a few decades and your kids/grandkids will be saying the same kind of thing about you, guaranteed.
Bill I agree with you on cell phones. ROTFLOL- Rolling on the floor laughing out loud. ❤😂😊

They’re not cell phones anymore. They’re hand held computers that make phone calls.
Exactly!
Yup
Wait, hand held computers make phone calls??!!
I agree with you, I hate cell phones and the shorthand words
I have never texted.
I've had cellphones and pagers, before smartphone existed, but never a smartphone and i never used them for texting.
Oh, i've used ICQ, MSN Messenger and IRC to chat with people online, but not with people i could talk to on the phone.
RIGHT THERE WITH HIM.
Your so true..I hate technology too..we have become desensitized..we are more anxious today that ever..no paystubs anymore either..

Funny😅I've had cats try to answer the phone either by jumping up next to them or knocking them on the floor. I really like your story.
Watch some kiffness!
Right I’m in the same boat with Venmo
Funny as heck😊
Great video Big Billy! 😂😂

Not true with the wall phone. My grandparents were on a party line. 😂 Some people would talk for hours!
Gosh i miss those lol. Thanks for the memory
My stepmother: Excuse me, but I need to make a call.
Someone else on the line: Well, I'm on the line right now.
Stepmother: Yeah, and you've been on here for 2 hours! Give other people a chance!!

I hate all phones! Cell phone is only on until 5. Only family texts
Hilarious!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤
I have gone out for details for work grabed my wallet keys and sunglasses brainfart and went I didn't grab My phone
I understand venmo but still don't care for it.
No venmo for me.
Yeah I really don't like abbreviations and acronyms
I don't mind the phone, but the shorthand text speech does get on my nerves! If I don't understand your message, I will not respond!😅
I don't have a cell phone
Bill, they still make dumb, flip phones. I also have a smartphone. I call it my book. It is only linked to my internet and I only use it to download books from Kindle. I keep it in the bat....er....the reading room.
Except I wanted to hear what the kid told him
i was catching up on my night owl sleep mom texts me photo of a turkey, sitting on Santa not your turn yet fat boy. One of those inflatable holiday decorations one eyed who cares delete my eye lids are more important
This guy gives old man yells at cloud

I hate them too!
Hey Bill, don't you just hate it when your own stupidity gets on it's menstrual cycle and runs your brain over?
Ok. I will be the one... WTM??
