I dialed a clients number and waited and waited and no answer and looked down and I had dialed it on my HP calculator.
Been there, done that!

Oh, yeah - when the rotary dial was replaced with the keypad, there was a deliberate effort to slow down the 10 key entry whiz people from overloading the circuitry at the distribution centers.?ÿ It was not a problem with the rotary dial - with its slow return rate.
Similar to why the QUERTY keyboard was set up - to slow down the manual typists, and prevent the striker levers from jamming.
Someone has been paying attention to Bugs Bunny.

Got a computer keyboard, phone with either call keypad or calculator app running, then a TSC3 all in hand.?ÿ I've punched the data wrong into all three!?ÿ Makes you feel kinda dumb when you realize what you did.
That, is hilarious!

I rarely place phone calls, especially from my cell phone.?ÿ I often find myself waiting and waiting for a connection, only to realize I have to hit the send button for the silly thing to work.

I recently tried to open the elevator with my door key fob. Didn't work for some reason. (Sheesh!)
