Back in my day ... If I had a report to do and needed multiple sources as a requirement... I would likely go to the library and Try to find as many books on the subject. (No internet or it wasn't allowed for the report). I remember picking a person to do a report about and there was Only one book about them. I changed the report to someone with 5 books about them. (One book just quoted the others) To satisfy the report.

Back in my day, when you called someone, you never had to ask "Where are you?"
-
Back in the day ... Take a chance and go to someone's house when the phone was tied up on yours or their end ... (No call waiting or similar ).

Back in the day, when a guy called you, everyone in your house heard the message on the answering machine ops: It often became a topic at the dinner table, with your whole family chiming in on their opinion of the person and other comments. No secrets there.

We had this barrel-shaped thing in our basement where we burned stuff. It had a chimney. We didn't have a traditional fireplace.

It wasn't a word the way we know it now, but we re-used or re-purposed coffee cans and jars ... And similar but we also just tossed everything Together - no separation (recycle).

Funny but, b I don't remember the garbage men from back in my day.

Back in the day, I remember when the garbage men had to earn their money!

Back in my day we got in trouble for getting tar on our feet from the bubbles that appeared on the road on hot summer days.

Back in the day, during high school, I was notorious for pouring loads of confetti in the air conditioning vents which is near the floor, in 4 of my classes, then turned them on and started running out the door. The teacher would quickly start running after me down the hall way but never caught me until I went to class the next day. When I went to class the next day, there was confetti everywhere in the classroom. And at the same time, the Principal, Janitor and Security paid a visit to our classroom, the principal angrily asked who did it? Nobody raised their hand! the Principal also mentioned that 3 other classes were filled with confetti and no one knows who did it! The next day, I did it again in all four classes! And again, I didn't get caught.
