[Mrroscoe03]

Fiddling with the radio to tune into the police on vhf...

I used to love to listen to the police on the scanner we had. Old Laura, who I used to work with and I would compare notes! " did you hear about the big disturbance on Ash St " ?

Watching a TV series over the course of a half year, 1 episode per week, 4 to 5 years after it was produced in the US...

...instead of binging it over the weekend after the a simultaneous world wide release.

Watching the gulf war on a tiny tv with my mom at night. She'd let me stay in her room to watch.

Yes, same for us I was obsessed with listening to what they were up to and what they were saying to each other.

@Aussiemilf That specific kind of TV was my first one, and i often used it to not only watch vhs movies with but also play my old-school nintendo on.

the walkman

 

[Bondagelover365]

the walkman

I had one of those... only mine was more rounded, grey, and included 5 pre-set buttons for the radio and different headphones.

@PaigeK I remember that too... and the fact that it occupied the main phoneline in the house i was living in at the time.

My driving exam.

Drinking fountains in gas stations and Saying you had to be crazy to pay for bottled water.

That's still the case. Speedway, 7-Eleven, some weird private gas stations and Marathons... I pay for bottled water only in emergencies.
