Somehow I'm old enough to remember dial-up

but young enough to rage-quit any website that

takes longer than 5 seconds to load.

Ah the sounds of dial up internet. Will forever miss it, but not the horrifically high phone bills.

Dial up Internet was always fun until some bastard picked the phone up mid purchase and wiped everything off the screen!

No issues with getting disconnected, I realised that early on and got a second line just for the internet.

1p a minute to surf the web at a snail pace seemed reasonable back then

Hi op

Bit like that myself when it comes to IT or queues. Ive walked out many times and taken my custom to no waiting. Bus is the worst or cancelled train.

As for dial ups they were replaced with phone packages. I remember them being stuck and slow.

Oh yes queuing too! I walk out if I’ve only gone to the shop for 1 thing and the person in front is loading up the travelator or whatever they are called with a weeks worth of shopping. They look at me holding my bread and then carry on loading it up without letting me nip in front

A travelator is the one you stand on like a moving walkway.
