Someone actually did a study to find out how/why it happens. They found that most people pick up the phone with the right hand and rotate it 90 degrees counter-clockwise to place against their right ear. Then at some point, they rotate it another 180 degrees to place against their left ear. And finally, rotate another 90 counter-clockwise when they hang up the phone. So almost every time someone talked on the phone, they put another 360 turn into the cord.
@@nathanberrigan9839 Never saw that study. I do know that we used to stretch those things out almost to the breaking point to try to have some privacy.
Funny, but pointless. The phone companies have completely abandoned rotary recognition, it's why they made everyone switch to push button dialing in the 90s
I used to have a brown phone like that but it was push button. My older sister stole it and swaped it with her pink one. I just stuck He-Man stickers all over it.
Those were only used on nuclear submarines in the 50’s.
@@catlady8324 😂😂😂😂😂 well I guess my house was a submarine.
Back in the day we had party lines lol. Could hear your neighbours conversation
Call Jenny! The cord is too short.
Who else also remembers phone numbers from back in the day?😊
Love it!
The first ever phone i had in my room was just like that!!!
Cute 😂❤
Gen Zs can talk sh!t infront their parents.. that's tragic lol
A rotary phone with a perfect cord? I'm more so shocked by that than I am with the young lady's reaction.

@@bladnasternaster8607 We had a 50-foot cord from the wall to the base, so we could take the whole thing to any room.
@@nathanberrigan9839 Holy Crap!!!
😂 I don't even think I could work a rotary phone now. She did awesome 😅
