Spending a couple hours scouring through the bins of the record store.
The joy of having to wait out a flooded carburator.
(Bonus; having a bunch of your classmates in high-school help to push start your car after you forgot to turn off your lights.)
Being asked (or yelled at) to get off the phone because your parents were expecting a call from someone.
(Bonus; Busy signals)
Paper Routes. Not these car routes that they have today, but honest to goodness ride-your-bike-at-5am-in-whatever-weather-is-happening-right-now paper routes.
Depending on where you're from, flood irrigation for your yard/property. This was a huge deal in the summer time for us. That meant playtime.
