Back in the day, breaking a TV was a huge deal. I will never forget the night all the families on our cul-de-sac went to a party, and my neighbor Nile broke our other neighbor’s giant flat-screen TV. Nile was about eight and broke the TV screen by throwing a toy at it. This was …

Gen Zers make fun of millennials for never making big purchases on their phones and reserving them for computers: ‘I ain’t about to mess up a $500+ purchase just cuz it’s convenient’

‘[My family] is not a Chinese takeaway’: Dad gets revenge on a local Chinese restaurant after they refuse to take his family’s phone number off of their menus

Remember the good ol’ days before caller ID and before everyone had a cell phone? We all had landlines with a 20ft cord that left a trail to whomever was hogging the family phone.
