I remember when mobile phones were rare, big and only affordable to the very wealthy.

Pay phone booths. Yucky, dirty, and usually had a smell if located outside. Cut phone cords, gum in the change slot, and crud in the mic holes. Half of them didn't work at all. Phone books torn to shreds if present at all.
Made me appreciate cell phones even if the first one I had was larger than an Original Wood REO!
Aprons. Do people still wear those? My mom always had an apron on. And I had my fair share back in the day....
Saturday afternoon ironing. I hate ironing! My job was the stupid handkerchiefs! Dad always had to have one in his pocket Sunday morning. I still don't understand why a snot rag needed to be starched and ironed! I also had to iron my dresses. Never got to wear slacks of any kind. Only skirts and dresses. Now I don't even own a skirt or dress!
Home permanents and hair cuts. Mom, well she was no beautician!

Midnight showings of The Rocky Horror Picture Show when everyone dressed up, took props and and yelled the *talk back* lines to the screen.
I remember with my first baby, normal birth, I had to stay in the hospital for 4 days. Knocked out for delivery. Saw my son a few hours after the birth.
My second, normal birth, 3 days. Out for the delivery. Saw my daughter within an hour through the nursery window.
My third, a caesarian, I was sent home after 4 days. Awake with a spinal for the delivery. Saw my daughter as soon as she was pulled out!
Now, after 24 hours most go home.
