2long Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I'm going to start with the easiest and probably the most true answer... they slept more! Now, it's your turn to come up with funny, better answers as to what they spent so much of their spare time doing before they had mobiles. My wife, a typical example, can waste 2 hours or more a day on the ###### thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucifer Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 They used to put the palm of their hands against their ears, just waiting for someone to invent the mobile phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
britmaveric Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Quite imagine they used the pay phone or a landline, similar to what we in the west did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Clifton Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Quite imagine they used the pay phone or a landline, similar to what we in the west did. They spent a lot of time waiting....for a phone line. My in-laws once waited 8 years for a second phone line needed for a family of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldcrush Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 (edited) My ex used to answer the phone when we were on the job as one might say. She actually moaned and groaned throughout the call! Edited February 24, 2007 by lopburiguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulsmithson Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 In the bars in the days before mobiles all the girls used to sit in front of the mirror squeezing zits from their faces-really unappealing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mouse Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 B4 the mobile phone they could sit and have an uninterrupted conversation with you. The women had very weak thumbs. Now, thanks to SMS, they can give strong massage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 OK, a semi-serious answer because when I came to live here, there were no phones, not even landlines. Everyone employed what I like to call the "Thai Telephone" : they bellowed, shrieked and generally "woo'd" to get their neighbors attention. Works a treat, I am quite adept at it myself "WOOOOO!!!! PAI NAI UH???" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaddeus Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Little know fact, but since the advent of the mobile, the Thai 'sticky out ear' gene has receded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sensei Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Replying to What Did Thais Do Before 'the Mobile Phone?': Have you ever noticed that Thai people often speaks so loud? Maybe that's what they did before the mobile phones... They stuck their heads out the window to broadcast a manual voice mail. Wrote notes on a piece of paper that's crumpled later to make it more aerodynamic for a manual SMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sibeymai Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 My wife uses her mobile phone to call her sister in the other bedroom of our condo. Guess before the mobile they just didn't talk to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a funny comment, but unfortunately I suspect you are serious and absolutely right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
