When did you last use a phone book?

friday. I can look up something specific faster in the book, than online.

I used one last weekend to make sure the garage door would open if something got caught under it before it was fully closed. The door worked properly.

I think for me it might have been 11+ years ago.

Just this morning as underlayment for the straw bale potato gardening.

You also sit on phone books to reach the steering wheel.

About two years ago- Comcast was doing its typical "outages" business and I needed an address and number.
Did you know that local phone books had poetry and interesting little factoids scattered within the pages? I found myself browsing the book far longer than I expected.

I used a whole box full of them yesterday as a bullet stop behind a target in my basement yesterday.

Same here.

About 2 months ago, I legitimately used several phone books and about 10 inches of stacked magazines as a backstop for some testing. Nothing made it through the 4th phone book.

edit: I posted before reading any other responses, and it is clear that great minds think alike!

What's a phone book?...

Used one last weekend to start a camp fire.
