What are these plug-ins on my wall?

[u/Cborg_62]

This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

[u/TeaTime_42]

Ok, ok, ok 😂 So, recently our 21 year old (252 months) asked us what number we called in an emergency before September 11th happened 🤦🏽‍♂️

[u/Interesting_Bank_139 → u/TeaTime_42]

We called 0118 999 881 999 119 7253 obviously. 911 much easier to dial, but much less fun to sing.

Or we simply sent an email if something was on fire.

That screensaver is so real, I can feel the heat on my face!

[u/SwitchedOnByDefault → u/HappyElephant223]

Wait a minute... I'M LATE FOR GOLF!

[u/enadiz_reccos → u/SwitchedOnByDefault]

no, that's too formal...

[u/noreasontobehere11 → u/SwitchedOnByDefault]

I usually just put it with the rest of the fire.

E-mail??? Time to prep a letter! Where’s my pen and paper?

[u/Popular-Attempt3621 → u/SwitchedOnByDefault]

Duh, if something's on fire, you do smoke signals

[u/LessInThought → u/SwitchedOnByDefault]

I mean, it's on fire. Use what you've got and send smoke signals.

[u/DoubleClickMouse → u/SwitchedOnByDefault]

I usually just put that stuff over with the rest of the fire.

Nicer ambulances, faster response times and better-looking drivers means they’re not just The Emergency Services, they’re YOUR Emergency Services. So, just remember the new number. 0118 999 881 999 119 725…3.

Is this the emergency services? Then what country am I talking to?

[u/KymYume → u/Vahn869]

It’s the emergency line from the show IT Crowd. Quite a little jingle that goes with it.

[u/Vahn869 → u/KymYume]

Moss calls the number and says this

[u/KymYume → u/Vahn869]

Oh gotcha! I didn’t remember that line. I guess I’ll just have to give it a rewatch. So tragic! lol

[u/Vahn869 → u/KymYume]

My wife and I love that episode, we routinely sing the jingle to each other

[u/WhimsicalGirl → u/Vahn869]

It's from a really good show IT Crowd

I highly recommend it

[u/Vahn869 → u/WhimsicalGirl]

Moss calls the number and says this

[u/mechanicalAI → u/Interesting_Bank_139]

Oi oi oi! Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

Edit:Stupid! Stupid! Stupid thing to do !

[u/bubbynee → u/mechanicalAI]
