Dial-up internet connection had multiple pain points, whether it be the patience required to load a single webpage or being kick-off by an incoming phone call.

Grabbing the land line phone & pulling the rotary portion off the table when brought to your ear...one of my pet peeves were folk who kept their phone cords tangled. Some were so bad they had memory & couldn't be fixed.
Getting off the couch to change between the 3 available channels & getting out of the vehicle to open the garage makes my son laugh.
I miss having the hi/low beam switch on the floor board...
Where's burnadell...I wanna hear about what it was like before electricity!!

And I got to go stand by the tv and turn the dial too. Click, click, click, click.
I remember when we got a tv with a remote control and a power antenna turner on the antenna pole. Shoot, happy days!
