22 Things Only People Who Were Born Before The ’90s Will Understand

LMAO, my sister and I did that and you can hear my father in background shouting to turn down the music

Ah yessss. sitting on my bedroom floor, reading the lyrics booklet (if they had one) or at least going over and over the album art while the new CD played.

No surprise IQ is steadily lowering.

I had one of those clear colored phones. I loved it so much. It HADDD to have an extra long cord.

An encyclopedia that was out of date a year later on anything but history.

The best thing in the early 80s was a walkman and you really could walk and run while listening to it. The discman came much later, in the middle of the 80s.

With or without a cell phone, I would never wait an hour for someone to turn up.

My grandfather owned the local video store. He would hold it for us.

"photo album today" -> do they even exist?

Do not miss smoking in restaurants or other public areas at all

Going to a restaurant and asking to be seated as far away from the smoking area as possible ...

The non-smoking section of a restaurant was kind of like the non-peeing part of the swimming pool...

This is like having a no peeing section of the pool. Eventually is spreads.

This never made sense.

I'm not sorry this went. I'm even less sorry that smoking is falling out of favor. Each to their own but my asthma has never been better.

I'm soooooo thankful this era is gone. I won't do business with restaurants that allow smoking. It's disgusting. Plus I have kids. Don't want them breathing second hand smoke.

I experienced this as a kid. Not fun

I'm so glad this is no longer a thing...

who smokes on a plane! xD

Luckily before a flight from Europe to Canada by Lufthansa I learned about a international law: When a non smoker has to be sitting in the smokers section then the three rows in the front and back from there

I miss smoking on the trains. The areas were well seperated, no one was harrassed by anything. Easily done: The pressure in smoking areas has to be slightly higher to avoid air flowing in the wrong direction - and everything is fine...

No way: I remember when I was smoking in an airplane and the air recirculation system was so efficient that there was no smell of smoke at a very short distance.

My father recorded a sports match over the christening of our first child....

Perfect resembling of styles!

We did have videorecorders back then...

We were able to read a map. Main difference!

i made a few mix tapes. None of them worked, I was very single.

Yes, you had to sing to the guy in the CD store

I blame YouTube for the horrendous way eyebrows have devolved into hideously unnatural geometric smears on otherwise beautiful faces.

Was more... Mummy/Daddy, is it true that...?

She looks cute in her '80's clothes. She just needs black lace Madonna gloves.

Still waiting for the boyfriend from earlier?

they have less power then.

remember watching porky's in my small black and white tv in the corner of my room carefully listen to the noise in the house in case of my parent coming in
