Good one. Also,

-waiting more than 5 minutes for the results of a pregnancy test
-pulling the tape out of the 8 track or cassette player that just ate it
-having to go the the library or encyclopedia to look things up
-waiting a whole year to see your favorite movie on tv again
-drafting plans by hand
-"dealing with" girls who didn't shave
-trying to give away your Saints tickets

Write checks in the grocery store. The clerk had to get your drivers license # and dial aol 0.5 to verify the check while you are 3rd in line with your jello pudding pops melting and dripping down onto your Albertsons hot French bread.
