How not to use a phone 0 Comments

From the anonymous bin:

When I was in Kindergarten, I attended a friend’s birthday party. While I was there, I took a mental note of his house number (address). The next morning, I woke up before everyone else in the house and decided to call my friend on the telephone. With great expertise (having watched my parents use the telephone in the past), I dialed his two digit house number. I was confused and disappointed when I was unable to reach him. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with the phone.

Television Telephone 0 Comments

Steve gets confused about televisions.

I used to think that the television was just a big telephone with a screen. So when I watched my favorite shows like Mr. Dressup and Bill Nye I would yell into the speakers to try and talk to them. I never understood why they didn’t answer me until my mom walked in at me with my mouth pretty much on the speaker and got a little confused. She then proceeded to explain the differences between TVs and telephones.

Breaking Into Television 0 Comments

If only it were as easy to break into Television as Shelby thought:

When I was younger I thought that to get into the television with the people all you had to do was break the screen and bam, you would be right there with them!

Those Blurry People on Cops 0 Comments

Seth from Temecula had a small issue with spacial relations on television.

When I was younger, when I would see people blurred out on TV shows like Cops, I would walk to the side thinking I could see past the blur.

Call the number on your screen 2 Comments

A Mysterious Stranger from Arizona shares the following:

When I was a kid, I of course watched TV and inevitably saw commercials. You know how it would say “Call the number on your screen”? I, until age twelve, thought that meant you had to transform your television screen into a mysterious telephone, and actually call the number, ON your screen.
