I keep forgetting text to 911 isn’t actually everywhere in the US. For situations like this, where talking could get you hurt or if you describe things better by text, it’s a great thing to have.
I remember when I was young and we still had actual phones I could talk on the phone for hours. Now it's like..couldn't you have just texted me. But this was a hoot.
This is ME! It was torture when we were buying a house and my husband refused to be the one to talk to the mortgage people all the time because HE is like this too. 🤦♀️ we are doomed.
My husband is the exact opposite. If he can go and talk to someone IN PERSON he will always choose that option. He makes appointments by going to the doctor's office. This baffles me!!
@@acaliaaidras5012 That's brilliant! No endless touch-toning options ... followed by the receptionist putting you on hold while she takes her lunch break ... followed by explaining your reason for the appointment: "I think I developed a brain aneurysm during the last 40 minutes." 🙄
My grandma taught me to be polite, speak clearly and listen carefully so well, that I can hold conversations easily... or at least that's how it looks to others. Inside my brain, there is a cacophony of unorganized thoughts, that get tangled into a mess as I try to keep up with the conversation. Unfortunately, I got too good at pretending to be good at it, so now mom often asks me to make some calls in her stead. 😢😢
I hate using the phone too and it was a nightmare when buying a home. My husband wouldn't do any of the calls. I had to take care of it all and I was beyond irritated through the entire home buying process. They will wear you out with the calls!! Nonstop until you close on the house. Lol
I HATE talking to strangers, and I live in MO. But I'm northern Michigan born and bred, 64+ years before moving down here four years ago. We don't generally start conversations with strangers up there---and everyone is a stranger!
I spent 30 years doing telemarketing ( yes we do know when you sit down for supper) and customer service rep. I hate talking on the phone. I certainly feel this way. My voice mail greeting says “now you know I don’t talk on the phone, I haven’t answered it in 8 years. so hang up and text me.”
@@sheilaharrison8547 I only 'check' voicemail bc apple types it all out like email. remember when voicemail was a teeny tape recorder connected to the land line?
I was a telemarketer too, it ruined my good view of talking on the phone. Now I try to get my husband to call people instead of me. He has the patience of a saint. I’m lucky to have found him.
I would personally like to thank "It's a Southern Thing" for confirming that I am OLD with this sketch. "Dial 911" means something, dangit. Matt should have thrown a gaming headset at Adam
OK, that was 26 days early by my reckoning which means we are in for a spooky October with Adam getting a hair cut at the end and Matt doing a vampire bless your rank in a coffin.
Every summer, I’d go stay a week with my Aunt in Mississippi. The guest room was also her porcelain doll show-room. Hundreds of them. Some collectors and antique ones too. She lived in her deceased mother-in-laws old falling apart house, complete with raised pier creaking wooden floors and attic…. She didn’t own a nightlight, nor a tv (due to religious affiliation….) This started when I was 10… I’m 40 now… There’s not enough money in my entire state to help pay for the trauma therapy I need after that… lol. Y’all gotta warn us. I came here to laugh at phone etiquette, and instead walked away with some serious, doll induced PTSD.
wow... thanks... I just nailed the trap door to my attic closed... Maybe I shoulda used deckin' screws... I s'pose I'll add some duck tape just to be extra safe...
I literally am this , I usually screen EVERY PHONE CALL I GET , ESPECIALLY IF ITS FAMILY NOT EVEN MY IMMEDIATE FAMILY GETS AWAY WITHOUT ME SCREENING THEIR PHONE CALLS
You can text 911 here in Texas. What I've been told is if you are in a situation where you need help, but making any kind of noise would put you at risk (hostage, etc), texting 911 is an option
I’m a retired pharmacist, and I was working way before everything could be done electronically. I spent at least half my day on the phone. I really hate talking on the phone now!
I feel this. In the days before texting, my dad used to drive all the way to the store to see if they had a product instead of calling to see if they had it. I'm not much better.
You could actually call back when there was land lines only. I remember calling places to see if they had something. Back in the '60's we also did not like driving around to places to see if they had what we wanted. We called them.
Omg my great aunt in Louisville, Kentucky had her spare room and attic completely filled with dolls of all sorts. I They were creepy af and I swear one if them wod follow u with its eyes. I swear it's eyes moved and I am not the only one who said this. I have heard it from alot of people who has been in her house and they brought it up all by themselves. Haunted creepy baby dolls must be a southern grandma thing. :)
My grandmother bought some dolls from a weird company that if you sent pictures of your kid and their partner they would send back a porcelain baby doll that is a mix of the two of them together. Basically, her first look at what my brother or me could have looked like. Creepy as heck.. especially once I learned what it was. I’ve never gone in that bedroom again.
Most of my jobs have been doing customer service over the phone. At the end of the day, the last thing I wanted to do was talk on the phone some more if family or friends called.
@@piemoon2488 being able to relay information and then saying ok gotta go ttyl is a social skill. Sometimes info needs to be spoken as it faster than texting.
I also hate talking on the phone... But I totally agree that it is the fastest way to get all the information you need instead of txting back and forth for 30 minutes vs a 3 minute phone call.
I tell you what’s torture when your entire family stays at your grandmas house and you have to sleep on her itchy couch with 94 different blankets being offered to you every 20 seconds.
With certain people, I prefer to text; with others, actually speaking into the phone is better;; it just depends on how social the person is & if that person tends to interrupt u every time u try to say 2 words🙄🙄 (My mom is sometimes like this.)
I watched this last night then I had a dream about it. There were people wandering in my house and messing with my car. I texted 911 then had to fill out a bunch of crap on my computer. Why can’t I dream of biscuits and sweet tea?
And I thought it was just me! Thanks for assuring me that I'm ok even though I'm not a Southern person unless Southern California counts? Love your videos.
I have never felt so understood. 😂 In college they used to have me cover the phones at work. I don’t think they knew the torture they inflicted upon me. 😰
I have to cover for the receptionist at lunch. Fine, but several years back when she retired, I told my boss they'd better hire someone, because I was not going to answer the phones full-time. I would quit first.
@@ikreer9777 I totally understand. The anxiety was just too much. I would get flustered and accidentally loose people and not be able to get them transferred. It’s been 20 years, and you still couldn’t get me to do that 😆
@@stillwatersfarm8499 One of my earliest memories of answering phones at my company. Receptionist was at lunch, and the senior vice president called in from a client. I disconnected him. Not just once, not just twice, but three times in less than five minutes. When he called in the FOURTH time, he asked, "Havin' a kinda bad day today, huh?" "Yes sir, yes I am. I am so sorry." I very carefully made the transfer, successfully that time.
As someone who has social anxiety and doesn't like talking to strangers (and who is less than clear-headed in emergencies), I can relate to this. On the other hand I absolutely love dolls (yes I'm aware it's a murder doll; that fact changes nothing).
“Porcelain white girls with machetes” needs to be a band name.
That is what my Dad would say
Lol Everything is a band name to him! Lol 😅
Haha I love Matt
@@CrystalNibarger Girl! Same!!! He makes this channel so much more FUN!!! 💗
nice name but you cant play a machete
That's my kink
Hooray sketches! "I never know what to say" "I'd start with the murder dolls"
I keep forgetting text to 911 isn’t actually everywhere in the US. For situations like this, where talking could get you hurt or if you describe things better by text, it’s a great thing to have.
We have it here and yes it’s really good to have in case talking would endanger you.
You sound serious. Do you think that this type of situation would really benefit from 911 texting? Because murder dolls really concern me.
Or if you are deaf, hard of hearing or have CC implants.
This is the first I’ve ever heard of texting 911! 😂 This was funny AND educational!
Too funny. I bought my daughter, porcelain dolls when she was younger. She hated them. Said they were always watching her. Lol. Murder dolls.
Y'all should try a “When a Southerner visits the North” and “When a Northerner visits the South” video!
😄 agreed. I think they have a northerner in the south video though
@@wisewoman4950 Southernitis or sumin
When we visit the South, we melt.
I would like to see that
I agree
Yes. I do all my own stunts.
Okay, the murder doll needs to come back. I'm calling sequels!
They had me at "Creepy porcelain white girl with a machete" 😂😂Dude! That is hilarious 😂
Right 😅
I love the fact that 911 would not believe in "murder dolls" is not even discussed! 🤣
I remember when I was young and we still had actual phones I could talk on the phone for hours. Now it's like..couldn't you have just texted me. But this was a hoot.
Adam could’ve given his phone to Matt.
Lol that's what I was thinking
Or Matt could have grabbed the phone and called 911.
If you’re looking for logic in a sketch about haunted baby dolls you’re out of luck buddy.
In the age of COVID everyone knows you NEVER let someone else use your phone.
Cell phones are way too personal. I'd loan out my wife before I'd loan out my cell. It's just NOT gonna happen.
I love how Matt has the oatmeal cream pies at the start. 😂😂😂

Not wanting to stir up a conversation with a stranger? Someone needs their southern card removed.

Not on the phone. No casual conversation on the phone. In line, yes.
I'm an introverted southerner and I'd rather take a punch to the face than have small talk with strangers

“Before I get murder by creepy porcelain white girl with a machete”😂 my favorite it’s a southern thing saying
Thinks talking on the phone takes too long, but will also spend an hour making small talk in the Piggly Wiggly…

This was actually kind of terrifying. Well done.
Great job from Matt, the one with common sense.
OMG I'd be Adam in this situation. I hate making phone calls.
I think he'll survive since he seems to be making friends with the haunted murder doll.

That tag at the end was great!
And Matt just having his FI moment and leaving WITH the Lil' Debbies was excellent!!
Little Debbie should be y’all’s sponsor! 😂👍
Maybe do a skit of things that represent the south like they have for state song, motto, plant, etc, then make our official regional food be gravy!

Ayyyy Halloween sketch!!! Love y’all so much. Y’all are halarious
Why call 911
when you can call Ghostbusters instead
I had a buddy who actually tried texting 911 one time bless their hearts
I know in Minnesota you can text 911.
I can text 911 here in Michigan.
Some counties here in Georgia allow you to text 911
You can text 911 here in Texas. What I've been told is if you are in a situation where you need help, but making any kind of noise would put you at risk (hostage, etc), texting 911 is an option
be useful if you're choking and can't talk
Ok, but now I'm craving those Oatmeal Creme Pies. I haven't had those in soooo long! 😋
Focus, Adam is about to get murdered by a porcelain doll! Aw, but those oatmeal cream pies are awfully good. Well, maybe he'll be alright.
YES YES YES!
I have one more left in the box but I'm saving it for my wife.

When I was younger I could stay on the phone for hours. Now I can’t stand it.

I am with Matt. Adam was driving me crazy. Call for help, plz

"Only call for emergencies, something like that is two words, 'I'm home'"
Except you didn't call during the emergency
