Remember the days not only before cell phones but before caller ID? It was madness.

If your phone rang and you were home, not only did you definitely answer it, everyone in the house raced to be the first to pick it up. It could literally be anyone calling you for all you know, but you sure as hell weren't going to miss that chance to interact with the outside world.
