Most telephone party lines were phased out by 2000, but the internet is similar to one. And, of course, they were always on alert for the telltale click on the line that indicated a neighbor was listening to their call. Every time the phone rang, the call may or may not have been for them, and when trying to make a call, they might interrupt someone else's conversation. I'm old enough - barely, I swear! - to remember the telephone party line my grandparents shared with their neighbors in rural Arkansas.
