My Father had a 'car phone' from 1990-1999ish and then switched to a nokia 3210 or similar. While he had the 'car phone', he kept a phone book in the car. By the time of the Nokia, his outbound calling was predictable enough that he either had it saved on the phone or he used '411' to have an operator look up the number.

I don't think I've ever called 411, or known anyone who has. I have known about it for ages, but I guess I was always under the impression that it was expensive or something.

This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
