(Pre cellphones, early 90s era) My problem with that is that my friend group were not exactly punctual (myself included). So that meant a lot of waiting around, and in some cases, your group may not show up. Being near a pay-phone or begging a phone call from an establishment helped some.
Also - you remembered your friends phone numbers (or had a black book).
- jeffbee 5y agoObviously! I still remember my high school friends' phone numbers and I haven't needed to dial any of them in thirty years.
- ASalazarMX 5y agoMan, using a pay phone with a card instead of coins felt like the future, ha ha. Also, if you went out without telling your family where, you became unreachable for the whole day(s). Going dark that way nowadays is almost unthinkable.
- mc32 5y agoSomeone usually had a beeper to help coordinate things with the stragglers.
- r00fus 5y agoNone of my friends had beepers. LOL I assumed all folks with beepers were dealers.
