Last company I was with bought out an old datacenter that was used by AT&T back in the day. I was amazed at the number of ash tray's bolted onto the walls, all over the place. Surprisingly, there was no smoking where the actual servers were, so there were ashtrays on all the doors leading into those rooms. I thought the building was built in the 70's, but it might have been there well before that.
That building was so awesome. We did a rip and replace of all the network wiring since it was such a clusterfuck there was no way to run additional CAT5 anywhere. I think we ended up making 30,000 bucks just off the copper in the wire that we pulled out of that old building (think 8-10 pallets piled high with just cable)
when I was in the respiratory ward with a collapsed lung last year the woman in the bed next to me would try light up at all hours of the night. she wasn't allowed out so she just decided to spark up in a room full of high oxygen content surrounded by people who couldn't breathe properly.
I dunno why she was even in there and not like the psyche ward.
Have a single-income family with a house and a car without a college degree. It's difficult for single-income homes to exist now with even a bachelors, and it's more or less impossible without having a degree.
Call from a phone booth or some other form of public (landline) telephone. At least here in Finland they have basically completely disappeared since everyone has a cell phone anyway. Also would listening to foreign radio stations on AM radio also count? Yes they do still kinda exist but a lot of major stations like BBC etc. have stopped broadcasting on AM since you can listen worldwide from internet with higher quality.

Smoke in hospitals, grocery stores and airplanes.

In bigger cities it's hard to find a place where you can smoke
Crazy you could be in the hospital, laying in bed and puffing away.............
With your newly born baby in the room

And then drive the kid home in a car that didn't have seat belts, let alone a car seat.

See the Milky Way from rural areas at night.
How are you defining rural? I live in a rural area and have no trouble seeing the Milky Way from my back yard.
"Not urban." Areas like yours are becoming increasingly rare.
I live in Quebec, so most of it is rural. Is it that bad where you are?
Most of the US, even in rural areas, have too much light pollution to get a good view of the Milky Way at night.
Wow, that sucks a lot.
Buy leaded gasoline.
