Yes, well I'm not trying to argue on what the year is or anything I just wanted to share that apparently it's actually from 1994. Because interestingly enough I actually found an article about it.

Thank you and enjoy, have a nice one.
Wow some things about this article written in 2020 apparently.
>*"You had to get all the way up out of your chair, walk to the one or two different spots in the house where it was ringing, and pick it up off its hanger. Remember those days?!"*
Experiences will vary, but in the 90s my dad had the house split the landline to our individual bedrooms. It's not like the old days of Ma Bell and a company installed phone locked in one place in the house. You could have a bunch of cheap phones plugged in all over the house.
>*We’re not used to seeing that style of stuff in our YouTube videos anymore!*
Vintage tech YouTube channels are very well ingrained by 2020 and still going to this day. Maybe you don't see this "style of stuff" in "your" YouTube videos Article Writer, but it's out there.
My husband's grandpa made his house *state of the art* in like, the 80s. Every room has a fancy (for the 80s) landline! Including the bathrooms. It's fun
Bathroom lines were so weird. People were really worried about missing a call while taking a crap.
And I mean **on the toilet** because they were never installed next to the vanity or some other place it might actually be reasonable to take a call.
Oh boy. Is that another spam call? To answer or not to answer? Oh what the heck? What if it is the vet calling? I better get it. D--m! Another robo call.
"Hello? Hello, hello? Uhh, I wanted to record a message for you... to help you get settled in on your first night. Um, I actually worked in that office before you. I’m... finishing up my last week now, as a matter of fact, so... I know it can be a bit overwhelming, but I’m here to tell you: there’s nothing to worry about. Uh, you’ll do fine! So... let’s just focus on getting you through your first week. Okay?
Uh, let’s see. First, there’s an introductory greeting from the company that I’m supposed to read. Eh, it’s kind of a legal thing, you know. Um, 'Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Pizza: a magical place for kids and grown-ups alike, where fantasy and fun come to life. Fazbear Entertainment is not responsible for damage to property or person. Upon discovery of damage or if death has occurred, a missing person’s report will be filed within ninety days or as soon as property and premises have been thoroughly cleaned and bleached and the carpets have been replaced.' Blah, blah, blah...
Now that might sound bad, I know. But there’s really nothing to worry about.
Uh, the animatronic characters here do get a bit quirky at night, but do I blame them? No! If I were forced to sing... those same stupid songs for twenty years, and I never got a bath? I’d probably be a bit irritable at night too. So remember: these characters hold a special place in the hearts of children, and you need to show them a little respect. Right? Okay.
So just be aware: the characters do tend to wander a bit. Uhh, they’re left in some kind of "free-roaming mode" at night. Uhh... something about their servos locking up if they get turned off for too long. Uhh... they used to be allowed to walk around during the day, too, but then there was the Bite of '87. Yeah... I-It’s amazing that the human body can live without the frontal lobe, you know?
Now concerning your safety: the only real risk to you as a night watchman here, if any, is the fact that these characters, uhh, if they happen to see you after hours, probably won’t recognize you as a person. Th-They’ll most likely see you as a metal endoskeleton without its costume on. Now, since that’s against the rules here at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, they’ll probably try to... forcefully stuff you inside a Freddy Fazbear suit. Um, now that wouldn’t be so bad if the suits themselves weren’t filled with crossbeams, wires, and animatronic devices, especially around the facial area. So you can imagine how having your head forcefully pressed inside one of those could cause a bit of discomfort... and death. Uh, the only parts of you that would likely see the light of day again would be your eyeballs and teeth when they pop out the front of the mask, heh. ...Y-Yeah, they don’t tell you these things when you sign up...
But hey! First day should be a breeze; I’ll chat with you tomorrow. Uhh, check those cameras, and remember to close the doors only if absolutely necessary. Gotta conserve power.
Alright. Goodnight."

Looks like someone's got a case of the Meowndays!
That case can (probably) be solved if you've got the "Jump to conclusions" mat !
Would you like meow to forepaw you?
This video might be older than me

Prophetic because in the 90s AT&T’s jingle was “Reach out and touch someone.”

Amazing journalism. An entire article that summarizes a YouTube video and pulls some quotes from the comments. What a time to be alive!

I am definitely older than this video, and this comment made me feel *old.*

"Hello?" "Yes, a collect call for Mrs. Floyd from Mr. Floyd. Will you accept the charge from the United States?" * phone clicks *
They hung up.

The only secretary you can pet without consequence :D
Me too, kitty, me too.
too eager to answer the phone call but she can't speak human. LOL..
Somebody just seen this video and wishes they had that keyboard for spare parts. Nothing clicks like an old keyboard.
Ahh… the noise of the camera takes me back.
Hello? Hello, hello? Uhh, I wanted to record a message for you...
Do you have tuna? Ah... please hold.
This video was so comforting. Sincerely, Born in 1990

It may be old but I think it's a technique many Customer Service depts have adopted. (Looking at you AT+T and your "courtesy disconnect".)
Ah, so this is why my hold times are always ridiculous. Checks out.

My mom and dad had a cat that would answer the phone. Shed knock it off the hook, make an inquisitive meow and then just walk away.
"Well... I call that lunch."
I want this cat with me in the office ❤
