I find checks a useful way to pay for my fluff & fold laundry. That way I don't have to have the awkward moment where I ask them to give me $2 back from $40 so I can tip them a reasonable amount. Other than that my checkbook barely moves - medical stuff.

Faxing still happens a lot for official documents like home loan stuff.

Pay phone lol - but I did see a guy using one in Yosemite where cel coverage didn't work. So that one I bet actually gets used a lot. It literally never would have occurred to me that I could use the pay phone - I'm so used to ignoring them.

How did the PC make this list?

Windows is still God in the business world.

Fax- rare. job stuff
checks- rare. 4-5 in 8 years or so
pay phone- maybe 1992?
stamps- yes
stapler- yes
pushpins- yes
newspaper- online
PC- Laptop use
Mags- no
books- yes
CD's no

Fax- no-they suck
checks- yes-once in a while
pay phone- does those still exist? can't remember the last time I saw even a ghost of one
stamps- once in a while
stapler- all the time at school
pushpins- no
newspaper- only on sundays
PC- all the time
Mags- no, too cheap
books- no
CD's no-my year old laptop did not come with a cd player. Neither did any of the new ones at school.

Printer? about once a month at home

Fax- Never
Checks- One paper check per month.
Pay phone - Not in 10-15 years
Stamps - Less than one per month.
Stapler - Sometimes
Pushpins - Sometimes
Newspaper - Never
PC - daily
Mags - Never
Books - Mostly paper books, because you can't beat used book prices with ebooks, and you can pass a paper book on to a friend when you're done.
CDs - Never, now that the world has Spotify

Fax- maybe one a year if that is the only thing they take.
checks- maybe one a year. My wife still mails bills the old fashioned way
pay phone- no-- totally gross
stamps- maybe a few per year. Again, my wife still mails bills the old fashioned way.
stapler- yes, but mostly to dispense a staple to pick my teeth
pushpins- yes, we have bulletin boards at work where we occasionally post stuff.
newspaper- no
PC- haven't used a PC on a regular basis in 10 years. Laptop.
Mags- no
books- no
CD's still use, don't buy, but my wife does

Faxes Yes, I occasionally get proposals faxed to me, but it's because the sender is out of date, not us. I'd prefer to get them via email.

Checks Maybe a few times a year.

Pay Phone I don't think I could find one if I needed one

Stamps Just a few times a year.

Stapler Yes, daily. My job still involves a lot of paperwork.

Pushpins I've never really used them much. If they didn't exist, I wouldn't miss them.

PC Yes, if I have to type anything I can do it much faster on a keyboard than a phone.

Newspapers Absolutely, they work great for starting charcoal.

Magazines Maybe if I'm stuck in a waiting room somewhere.

Books Closest thing is the catalogs at work

CDs Yes but only as back up hard copy. Rarely, if ever, listen to them.

ROFL

I use everything but a payphone, and rarely CD's.


When I want sonic bliss I will pop in a CD.

Hell, I still have a Rolodex (paper cards you can flip over.) I've had it for over 20 years and every number I've ever taken is on there.

Most, in fact the greatest majority, are probably useless now. That said if I need ANYTHING in this town (from a lawyer to pizza to a prostitute who likes Pink Floyd) it's in there...

:clap:

So much this. Could not agree more. I should add the caveat that I read a lot and I don't care for reading on a tablet or kindle. Between work, gaming, and cell phones I spend enough time looking at a screen already.

Faxes - Maybe once a year
Checks - Few times a year
Pay Phone - Couldn't find one if I tried
Stamps - Probably same occasions as the checks
Stapler - Yes, this doesn't belong here
Pushpins - Rarely
PC - Yes, this doesn't belong here. To be fair, I do a lot of gaming so it may also be a matter of hobbies.
Newspapers - No, but never really did
Magazines - Waiting room only
CDs - Recently converted my entire collection to digital so now I don't have to bother. My new car actually didn't come with a CD player, so I would not have had an option.
Records - I love records so I play these on occasion. Something about some classic jazz on vinyl.

Fax- occassionally at work
checks- one per month for child support (4 months left to go)
pay phone- no
stamps- one per month for child support (4 months left to go)
stapler- yes
pushpins- no
newspaper- only the small towns that I used to live in
PC- Laptop/phone/tablet
Mags- dentist office and long flights
books- Yes
CD's- rarely. Usually load onto the laptop and then onto my ipod. I'm not even sure the player in my truck works as I've never used it.

I miss the days of perusing Blockbuster video on a fri/sat night. Hanging out by the return bins waiting for someone to return Bad Boys

Newspapers, Magazines, CDs and pay phones no. The rest get used at work.

FYI-KQRS in Minneapolis is playing more songs from vinyl. There is a difference. You can tell.
