We were in the clear as long as we were home by dinner or returned home once the street lights came on. Our neighbors were addressed as Mr. and Mrs., we answered phone calls politely and cordially (we didn&#8217;t know who was on the other end!), and we ate dinner together at the table, not in front of the television.<\/p>\n<p>Today, things are different. The thought of showing up to a buddy&#8217;s place unannounced stresses me out, and I recoil at the thought of someone calling me \u201cma&#8217;am\u201d!

Check out 24 other old-fashioned elements of daily life that have since gone stale.<\/p>\n<h2>1.
