Landlines sometimes crossed. When I was in college happened to me three times in one night and always with the same number or line. On the third time, the guy who answered the calls was already annoyed and ask me what was happening. I explained that apparently our lines were crossed because I dialed a friend’s number, but it was his number that was ringing. The guy calmed down, we continued talking for about an hour that night and many nights afterward. Next month, we will celebrate our 27 wedding anniversary. 🤷🏽♀️

These stories are so creepy! Getting strange calls from people you don't know is scary enough, but when they start showing up places uninvited it becomes really unsettling and dangerous. I'll be extra cautious about answering calls from numbers I don't recognize after hearing these. Short, mysterious calls late at night from heavy breathers are the worst. Glad the police were able to help in some cases. Stay safe out there everyone!

@thelastmotel11 ай бұрын
Story 1 was never true, as it is set when internet-capable camera cellphones already existed. People seem to misremember when technologies first appeared. We've had social media for 27 years already, and camera phones turned 23 this year, and text messages (aka SMS) turned 31 this year. Caller ID was invented in 1968, and went mass market for businesses in 1988, and for home users in 1989.

@@thelastmotel I assume most of these stories aren't true where the plot is, but you're objectively wrong about time when you consider emergence and availability or ubiquity aren't directly related or happen concurrently. LEDs are from the 60s, but you're only seeing their widescale use since the late 00s, and throughout the 10s. Technology takes time for refinement, to lower its cost, and consideration of its applications. This time may vary between products, but the fact remains the same that simply existing isn't enough to convey the realities of a moment in time. In 2001 I had a rotary phone, one other landline with caller ID and answering machine, a CRT TV, no cell phones, a Sega Genesis, and slow Internet on a tower PC with CRT monitor. The cell phones anyone else in my family had had antennae and no cameras.

You aren't mistaken. Mobile phones have been around a long time. Since 1973, in fact. Text messaging was added to them in 1992, which was the same year the first touch screen phone was released. Prepaid phones came around about 1991. Camera phones have been around since 2000, and smart phones and internet capable phones have been around since 1994. For some reason, a lot of people have this kind of mental block which prevents them from remembering how long we've had the things lol. Hell, people forget that social media has been around for about 27 years already.

Most landlines back then it was just an option. You had to pay extra. And if your parents were penny pinchers it was likely they didn't bother.

When I was a toddler in the early 90s, answering machines were still a thing. My parents thought it would be cute to have me record our family’s message. It was fine until they received a voicemail from some man saying “awww. What a sweet little girl. Too bad you won’t have her much longer.” Then he laughed an evil laugh and hung up. Probably just a prank call, but after that, my parents only had my Dad make our answering machine message.
