Didja Know . . . . . . . . ? Friday, 13 May 2011 (free, phone, companies, women)

We finally made it to Friday kids! Course it’s also Friday the 13th so watch out for any mutant zombies roaming around


speaking of teenagers . . . Didja know?

When telephone companies first began hiring telephone operators, they chose teenage boys for the job.

They switched to women because the teenage boys were wrestling instead of working and pulling pranks on callers

Boys will be boys.

Haha. I did not know that. I'm not surprised about the outcome, though!

Women also have a pleasant phone voice, whereas men & boys don’t.

And as usual they could always pay women less and get away with it. unfair

I wonder how young they used to be?

Did the boys rollerskate too, like the women had to...

Oh wait ~that's Sonic too~LOL!

[wit-nit]

And women love to talk a lot...

I don't know why they ever thought teenage boy would be a good fit for telephone work... Chics dig IT- the telephone they start early and they just improve with age... Of course maturity brings on more valuable conversations- fellas fell free to use that with ur ladies. It'll get ya some points if u act like it is so
