I GET MY MONEY FOR NOTHING AND MY CHICKS FOR FREE!

Straining your eyes any time you played your Gameboy in the car at night:
Shoutout to streetlights, the real MVP.

Having to keep all your friends’ or family’s phone numbers on an enormous list (it was either that or memorizing them all):
Usually this piece of paper was older than you were.
And having to look up someone's number you didn't have in the phonebook:
Good luck if they have a super common name.

It still hurts after all these years.

Picking up your developed photos and getting somebody else's photos instead of your own. And, usually, losing your own photos in the mix-up:
Nothing like that weird moment when you opened your photo packets and saw unrecognizable faces staring back at you.
Finding out 90% of your photos are blurry or bad after getting them developed:
- rips up photos immediately *

"Almost got it..."
Having to pull this move if you wanted privacy while talking on a non-cordless phone:
"DAD, GET OFF THE PHONE."
Getting kicked off the internet 'cause there was too many people in your neighborhood logged on at the same time:
I'm just trying to log-on.
Finally being able to get online and immediately having to get off 'cause someone needed to use the phone:

AOL
Trying to look at a ~suggestive~ pic using a 56k modem and having it take FOREVER to appear:
Come on... COME ON.

Putting a movie in and realizing it wasn't rewound:
And having to cover your eyes when rewinding so you don't spoil the movie.
Or worse yet, having your VCR destroy your favorite movie:
Chills.
Scrambling to try to perfectly tape a song off the radio:
And the first 5 seconds of the song just being a DJ yelling over the beat.
Downloading a fake MP3 off LimeWire or Kazaa:
"I did not have sexual relations..."
Dealing with sending and receiving faxes:
Oof.
Basically not being able to move whenever you used your portable CD player:
How am I supposed to pretend I'm in a music video now?

Having Internet Explorer crash on you at least 60% of the time you used it:
It's like modern art.
