'Get off the internet, I need to use the phone': 20+ Relatable memes for Gen Xers

If you remember when television sets turned off at night, you're probably in Generation X (or older). That's right, before televisions had a bazillion channels and endless entertainment to watch, TVs would turn off each night. They'd stop broadcasting altogether, and since there weren't that many channels to begin with, your TV-watching experience was just done for that day.

One person mentioned how you used to have to adjust the TV's rabbit ears to get it to work. This is another thing that would be unimaginable to today's youngsters, Gen Alpha. The televisions of today are a half-inch think and hang flat on our walls. Back then, though, if your station wasn't tuning it, you'd have to move the metal prongs on top of the set until it tuned it. These TVs were big bulky dudes: you needed two or three people to lift them, and since they were so large, people just kept them on their floors, or had entertainment systems to store them in.

Check out all of these all-too-relatable memes for the people who lived through the "rabbit ears on the TV" era. Then, this teen had a really great idea for increasing their curfew by an extra hour.
