        People slam game controllers and replace them all the time. Same would go for this handset. Might even find a “retro” one that’s sturdier. You could murder one with those old school ones.

      You’re surprisingly wrong. Landlines exist but there is basically nowhere left in the world where landlines outnumber mobiles (except places like North Korea, obvs). Mobile networks are literally cheaper to run than landline networks and that gets more and more true as the quality of infrastructure drops.

    … One time per phone, unfortunately.

      My school had an official “smokers’ corner.” Oh no, not for the teachers. It was for the kids.
      And it was inside the building.

    i mean you can still do this, my mom’s SO has multiple landline phones in their house, and i’m sure it’s not that difficult to convert an old landline phone to use modern standards with some adapters.

              Just as a sidenote here, it really isn’t hard to use an old phone.

              You just get an old phone and then there’s adapters with BT, so you just hook up the old phone to the adapter and hit pair on the BT to pair it with your phone and tadaa.

              Actually just figured that out after reading this thread. Might get myself one.

    Now if they’re really mad in a movie you see someone yeet their $800 phone. They lost the middle ground of slamming or throwing a $50 corded phone out the window. Now there’s only the nuclear option.

    I had one of those Nokia candybar phones back in the late 90s early 2000s. nothing was more therapeutic than just chucking the phone across the parking lot at mach 1. walking over to the pieces, assembling it, and going on with your day.
