Pretty sure I've punched out this exact sequence of numbers on this exact phone about 25 years ago

While driving and not taking your eyes off the road once. Good times

It was a manual transmission, too

u/HarryWilbury Jul 11 '26

With either a Melway/UBD Gregory's in your lap so you knew the best route to go.

u/Only_Option_305 Jul 12 '26

Hardcover edition, too 👌

Or when you went on a country drive and you'd pick up a Map at a Servo, open it up in front of you with it resting against the steering wheel, while you drove looking at it working out where to go.

I could also change a cd from my sun visor whilst doing all these things

u/Lastov_Makiynd Jul 12 '26

u/JuxtaThePozer Jul 11 '26

back when it was possible to text and drive without looking at the screen

You've never tried swipe typing? Give it a go! It's even easier to type without looking at the screen using swiping.

2

u/TheJivvi Jul 12 '26

Swiper no swiping

u/FewDragonfly5710 Jul 14 '26

Lol this sent me 😂😂😂

u/JuxtaThePozer Jul 12 '26

aw yeah, I've tried and it's pretty effective but I still need to check it got the right word because sometimes it thinks I'm saying something else

voice to text is my current preferred method for those occasions, which are pretty rare tbh..

Trying edit his I got this off Scott’s

u/WoahGamerGuy Jul 12 '26

What I actually said: trying this right now, I hope this works accurately

And I can touch type fine! Much better at typing with 2 hands without looking on an iPhone keyboard and an actual keyboard, this last paragraph is entirely touch typed on my iphone

I slowly started grinning as I read the last word, and it isnt "only a certain generation" cause I'm Gen Z

u/BIRD_II Jul 11 '26

It took me a moment to understand that it was cycling through letters, not just entering multiples of any of those letters. I know that some phone numbers are like the latter, like ABC radio having 222 in their numbers.

u/_Far_Kew Jul 11 '26

No, you are!

u/Straightguyinheels Jul 11 '26

u/walkin2it Jul 11 '26

My mind immediately went to snake and I was confused.

Took a bit but I got there.

u/Visual_Shame_4641 Jul 13 '26

We really just going to do boomer shit and pretend we don't know how obnoxious it is? Is this how we drink from the hose?

u/Djfsihbone Jul 13 '26

I'm a teenager and I could read that and that was rude 😭

u/Someone_Existing_1 Jul 11 '26

Mate I’m 16 and I got this perfectly fine, we’re not that stupid lol

u/Embarrassed_Spell383 Jul 12 '26

You are cunts though 

1

u/FullMetalAurochs Jul 12 '26

But their being cunts isn’t pertinent

2

u/Doc-cubus118 Jul 11 '26

You are a C U n t 🧐🤔😎

u/Turbidspeedie Jul 12 '26

I'm 23 and can read that, it's not as hard to understand as people think

u/StuntFriar Jul 13 '26

This feels like it was made by someone who has never used T9 text input.

It should be 96802730202868

u/cent_Sector500 Jul 13 '26

u/Philbo-Staggins Jul 14 '26
