Site an example of how life use to be and has changed over the last 50 years

Remember when you use to pull up to a gas station to pump gas into your car and you paid for the gas after you got done pumping.

 

[Doggiemike]

Yes I remember and I can remember when there was a gas station guy who would pump the gas and check the oil for nothing

Yes a long time ago, people would pump and run.

I remember we'd put $2 of gas in the tank and drive around all night drinking.

Remember when the only phone was the phone on the kitchen wall and had that 29 foot tangled cord stretched across the room that you had to tuck under?

Did the same $2 of gas would take you a long ways not like today that amount might get you out of the station and onto the street.

Yes I remember and there were phone booths on just about every corner

[Dogdaddy69]

No argument. Just an illustration between then and now.

Looking forward to my first time, my fantasy and desire with a German or lab

It was a big deal to make long distance calls because they cost serious money.

Remember when nobody locked their doors.

You found your friends by looking for the house with all the bikes in the yard

 

[PonyLove]

Yeah, phones have really changed. From the wall phone, party lines, only needing to dial 4 or 5 digits to get your party. And you actually could talk to to alive person when dialing "0"

How about them 7 transistor radios being improved to be a 9 transistor radio.

Remember how big cars were. The trunck often extended 3 or 4 ft past the back wheels, now they are pretty much square with the back wheels. I had a 63 chevy impala (a land yaught), my friend had one of those big cadalacs with the big ass fins.

[CheryLeigh]

I remember when Democrats were conservative and Republicans were ultra conservative

You could fill your gas tank with under $10.00; and a vw bug for under $4.00.

 

[Farmhand640]

Anyone remember dialing "O" and asking for Zenith 12,000. For you young uns, that was yesterdays equivalent to 911 today. And that assumed the busy body who was always hogging the party line was completely satisfied you had an emergency and would get off the line so you could call the authorities.
