Comment on Landlines are dying out. But to some, they're a lifelineparent

I hope that you never have to take care of an aging parent with dementia.

I’m just saying if you treat the cell phone like a landline it can work just as well (or badly). Hell, physically attach it to the base with a cord or something.

My rural grandmother happens to have a landline and it doesn’t work like 20% of the time because she didn’t hang it up properly.

No need to dunk, just explain what you've learned that they have not.
