I was talking to a coworker about these new phishing attacks that send your name and address and sometimes a picture of your house, and I was saying how creepy it is, and they told me that phonebooks were delivered to everyone and used to have like literally everyone in a city listed by last name with their phone number and address. Is that for real?

    TIL we’re at the point where people don’t know what a phone book is. My god I’m old.

      I knew phone books used to exist, but I guess I just thought it was for businesses. I didn’t know it also had the first and last name, number, and address of basically everyone that lived in a town.
