landlines were shared within a single household - you could pick up the phone on the headset upstairs, and someone in the kitchen downstairs would already be talking to someone. you'd have to apologize and hang up quickly because you just intruded on their conversation. thus, two people could pick up the phone at the same time. Frankly I think that's giving AngryMan too much credit, I'm convinced they're just an idiot who doesn't review before they post.

I just felt really old realizing this was something that someone younger might legitimately need to be explained to them.
