50 Struggles That 90’s Kids Remember Too Well

I knew people who would text with this type of phones without looking at the phone

Yeap, had one of those myself... Was always a hard choice, which one to pick

when someone would pick up the phone without asking if you were using AOL. lol

At least you got some amusement out of your computer glitching

Ever have to splice one back together because the tape snapped?

There was that big clunky accessory you could put on it to light the screen, but it was a terrible glare

I never learned how to play minesweeper, so I just clicked at the squares, hoping the next one wouldn't blow everything up

As the youngest in my family, I was not only the remote, I was also the indoor antenna. I remember, especially in bad weather or when the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, standing next to the TV with the antenna (which sometimes had aluminum foil wrapped around the top lol) in my hand so everyone else could watch the program--- which I generally got to see sideways. Sometimes I think that was part of the reason my parents had me (JK!).

And if you wanted to record your favorite songs..you'd better break out the cassettes

This was one of my favourite games on Windows 98

Struggled to delete the Wordart to free up 3Mb disk space

the curse began 1970....

Yup and proud of it!

The struggle wasn't to get it down, was to get it all the way back up!

I'm in Afghanistan and this is what we have right now

Or the brains you need to spell "strength" correctly.

My 9 year old niece asked why we say "roll down the windows." I felt so old.

try beating the sudden rain

But maybe today’s kids can spell “strength”.

I still have this on a '91 Toyota pickup (called a Hilux in the rest of the world). 350,000 miles and I never had to fix the windows or anything else. Change the oil, new brakes, that's it. I can't figure out half the doo-dads on my wife's car. One of them swivels the headlights in the direction you're turning. I think.

*strength

Oh no! My 2016 jeep still has that.

We drive a 32 year old car. i still do it daily :D

i do. my mom just got a really stripped down car for like 1000 bucks it is so hard to open the windows and sometimes they get jammed

Added points for having a dog that chewed it into a spikey ball.

For real, this was a pain to wheel up or down

The lenthgs you had to go to when faced with this figth.

I still do in my old Nissan Patrol from 1989

A lot of cars still use this today

I still have one in my truck

*cough my car still has those in the back seat*

My car still has these...

I was a very little kid when my mom's car had this, so I used my foot. It was a struggle.

I had to show my kids how to even use this!! They were so confused!!! 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🙃🙃🙃

The handle broke off my driver's-side window - fortunately the window was up at the time.

One of my family cars still have this feature (That car was bought in 2011 though.) XD

My 15yo daughter thinks these are cute.

my wrist game went up after that

i still have them in the back of my 2014 car...

strength and my dad has a car like these and I'm a gen Z from 2007 so don't act like I didn't have this

I was born in 2002. And we had a truck that had these handles. I would always try so hard to roll the window down Lol

I broke my dads rusted out old Pontiac handle as a kid. Oops

You will when you hang out with your family members who have like 50 year old cars. That's the only way I understand this one actually.

actually, the first car i remember my mother having, had crank windows, i was around 3-7 YRS old

I still have a car like this

Ture

The F*****g Sound

Omg, I remember those, you could even get eraser and crayon ones.

Having to constantly delete texts was so annoying, I used to have a phone that had room for only 30 messages

Holding it gently like a newborn on the bus so it wouldn't skip lol

The times when Kodak still was a multi billion revenue global company ;-)

We used to pull the jack out of the wall, then there would be ringing, instead of a busy tone for the caller. Made them think we weren't home...

If you work in a regular office, this is still an issue...

Dropped the Ball once on my toenail as a kid and it went all black... Glad the "laser" mouse doesn't cut my toe if i drop it. 😕

Yeah we also had to sing that song we were looking for to that cute guy in the CD store so he could hopefully help us find it.

Press any key to continue or any other key to quit

Always gotta have quick fingers to hit the record button when you hear a song you like on the radio.

That's STILL an issue. At least for me
