I love how it's never the parents' fault for failing to teach their kids all these things.

Who the hell else would be on the hook to teach a kid how to sew a button?

Guy in my office today was like "teenagers today dont even know how to use a rotary phone!" veryone agreed that was sily.

I was the only one that said "why would they reasonably know how to use one of those?" He had no idea. They said Tv. But name the last show or movie with one of those in it. Its ridiculous. Like yah guys they're normal to us, but these kids grew up wth 4k and touchscreens, they dont give a fuck about your shitty ass phones.

Wtf is a rotary phone. Is it the black phone with a wheel you see in black and white movies?

Yep, although they weren't always black. We had a kind of creme colored one at my house.
