Wow. This thing on my desk started making noise.
A desk phone!
It was UNDER my desk but yea. Somebody called. I pulled it top side and naturally I called my wife. It even sounds different. Wild. And that shoulder brace thing is surprisingly effective. i haven’t had a desk phone in decades. Well that’s not true because I have one now.

A few years ago I saw a cell phone holder at the convenience store that was a "old fashioned" handset. Would work with that shoulder thing too.
Of course, they didn't have one for the phone I had, I would've grabbed one... |

Nothing compares to the clarity of a Western Electric 2500. I can't stand cell phones.

Get off my lawn!

The best part of a desk phone is hanging up in anger. Nothing better than a good handset slamming down. Hanging up a cell phone with a tap of a button on the screen just doesn’t cut it.
