It’s so mad how despite not using numbers for letters for 15 years or so it’s still second nature if you try again.

Took me a min to remember how it worked, but yeah, pretty much second nature after that.

I bought my son a flip phone. It was like riding a bike.

I used to be able to type whole sentences by touch alone and keep my eyes on the road. Smart phones made it far more dangerous to text and drive

i only had that style of phone for a couple years and im 17 its still engrained and i dont know how i feel about it

You are what you eat

It doesn't say dick.

Is that why you're such a dick

Literally came here to comment this

Can confirm, thats how i became a woman

I must be fast cheap and easy then.

This was mentally tasking. Fuck you, both ways.

Yea, but can you type it under the desk while making eye contact with the teacher?

Mentally taxing?

Taxing?

Never owned one of these. Was born with superior phones. Took like 2 seconds to find out.

i thought this said "you are cute" and sent this to a friend saying "i think this suits you" now i want to die and ascend to heaven before being slapped back down to hell. this is a memory that'll keep me up

you can literally say 'Oh shit wait I thought it said "you are cute" lmao' and it'll be a fun goofy story.

Once sent "I'm gonna kick your puppy" to a girl. T9 was great, and yet it wasn't.

Is that 66 666 88 or 666 66 88???

Mom u?

You are a

I kept thinking it was “you are a aunt” for some reason

Is that what it says

T9 was best 9

This isn't T9. T9 was the shit though.

Hitting the space button for similarly typed words until you get the correct word... But then you get to the end and it starts misspelling the word you wanted instead of helping you... 😒

I am a German philosopher?

See you next Tuesday!

I had to scroll much further than I would have thought to find this!

You are cute

Lol not quite

Swing and... miss.

💀

You are a cute*

"You are a cunt"

I’m 17 and got this.

I mean tbf the system was intentionally visually easy to understand. It's not that kids these days are incapable of figuring it out, it's just that they have no need to.

Get fucked cunt

Whoever made this never used it. Nobody is spelling out “you are”. U r a fraud

Things that make you feel powerful:

I mean it’s pretty easy to comprehend

Hey, don't underestimate an 18 year old with too much time on his hands!

I‘m 17 and explain to old people how these work so don‘t test me.

Jokes on you I speak that fluently

Use zero for maximum confusion.

NO U

Why is this meme showing me a TI-84?

confuse who, its not old its still in use on our phone

Australians be like

These old people acting like iPhone passwords don’t have the same structure

I can literally hear the buttons as I look at this.

Ok. Took a minute, but I got it. 😂

T9 was key back in the day

This is when it was easy to text and drive. Now I have to actually look at my phone.

Now I’m upset that I did know what it was.

66/666 88

It was like a little orphan Annie decoder ring so delightful!

you are a cunt

Morse code for the 00-10s people

You are a cu…. Oh. I’m glad I’m on the inside of this one

Don't put it in a wood chipper

The ultimate boomer burn

Nah it's gen X and millenials. Most boomers woulda taken 15 minutes to write that text.

That system for typing texts was absolutely awful. Good riddance!

Well that escalated quickly

Only on a Tuesday

Hey!

90s Morse code.

I guess the fun part is that teenage girls did this in like a second

Ain’t no way I’d be spelling out the full words when a letter would do, lol, I memorized way too many texting acronyms off my middle school mall poster for that!

As Biily Butcher said "Don't be a cunt"

777733663 66883337777

Wow. Rude.

Mah feelings

Continual source of inspiration?

i had a flip phone for emergencies when i was in high school. mom said “only text me if somethings wrong”

Facebook moms thinking kids couldn’t figure out how to do the obsolete stuff they used to do

Average UK insult

Right before the first iPhone dropped I dated this girl who could type faster like this than i can on a keyboard no shit. It was just ungodly how quick she was on those keys.

I'm not a cunt also it's not that hard to figure and I've never seen a phone like this

I did not do this mental task just to be called a cunt lol

Was kinda easier in a way then. Once you got it down ya didn’t even have to look at it

Yo tou

66666 88

This is you irl apparently

Ya? How is this for confusing 8! 6! 7! 5! 3! 0! NIIIIINENEE!

I read “you are a bunt” at first and was like 😊 oh Ty ur a bunt as well

333**2255 99966688

Why do I know how to decode that ? And also , are you British ?

22444822244

is this battle against a true hero ??

Um...ok

Oy your mother is!

The pictures phone is a Nokia 3310, which had T9 input for texting, so the user would not need to press each key multiple times.

You need to throw some letters in there to make it more realistic.

No you are

Lmao 99966688 277733 2 344422255

I understand this because of the Smash Bros names 😤

I should've broken up with my ex like this lmao

Same to you ya fuck

angry in British

Its not that hard to under stand. But "these kids these days" are sooo dumb and how we wave it easier. Smh🤦‍♂️

Fucking cunt for making me do this.

Shouldn't spaces be 0's ?

66 666 88

See you next Tuesday

Technically you missed one of each number click to get the right letters...

This has been reposted so many times

Rude.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

It's an insult either way

Had a supervisor that used to text this way during our safety meetings in the morning

Ahem, it reads and I quote: “You are a cunt”

Ha

I was born in ‘07. This was easy still. Anyone who can’t read something like that should be brutally made fun of in a lighthearted way
