This phone in the stock room was so filthy someone put a clean grip on it so you wouldn't have to touch it

Yep, sure enough have seen this before. Way back before cell phones existed, this is what we had to do to put a phone on vibrate.

Usually ya had to call a 1-900 number to ring it.

Someone needs to call a telephone sanitizer.

Take the vibrator out and this is still a strangely uncomfortable photo. I can't put my finger on it exactly. The weird squares, the clean majority of the wall vs the dirty phone.

I mean, I'm perfectly fine with the vibrator, but those weird squares are right skeevin me out.

Probably mid way through a renovation. Or they just paid the painter and didn't bother to clean them.

Those squares are switches. Commonly use in Germany for light switches. I’d guess they might be buzzers for an apartment lobby, hence the phone with no number pad.

That’s one expensive vibrator.

I feel like this would be in an art gallery sometime in the 80-90s.

Who wouldn't want a nice shoulder massage during a long phone call?

Waiting for the phone to ring has never been so exciting
