In the US, phoning a local number did not require an area code.
Without revealing your actual age,what's something you remember that if you told a younger person they wouldn't understand?

It's definitely a first-world problem, but it's really frustrating when an online site requires you to enter a verification code to log in, yet the cursor doesn't default to the input field. You start typing, but nothing happens, and then you forget the code. 🤦

If people don’t like you, it’s fine. If dogs don’t like you… it’s time for some serious self-reflection

In viewing this statue dedicated to endangered species, I must confess doing a double take at the gorilla's strategically placed foot, and big toe. I initially thought it was something else. 😏

Attended a xmas party today with young kids. A boy asked his Dad what a "one horse soap & sleigh" is from Jingle Bells. The Dad replied he didn't know. I didn't want to correct him in front of his kid, but when the boy left I said, "you know it's a one horse open sleigh, right"? He was dumbfounded.😆

Flashing back to my first office job when I was trained as the "key operator" for the Xerox machine, which basically involved adding paper, toner and clearing jams. To this day I still "fan" the blank paper before loading into a printer, even though I'm guessing this now isn't necessary.

At a chiropractor appointment today, I greeted my Dr. by asking how she was. She said she was exhausted after dealing with her hysterical 3-year-old child earlier because her poop was green this morning, after eating green colored xmas cookies the night before. Really, more than I needed to know. 🤦

I was today years old when I learned "copse" is an actual English word, meaning a small group of trees. I can't recall ever hearing or seeing it before. 🌲🤷♂️
