With the og flip phones you should still somewhat do this. Must’ve been a slight delay between closing and the call disconnecting. Slight enough to hear those plastic casings clap.

I think what people don’t appreciate about this is that it’s not just about slamming the phone. The other person can HEAR you slam the phone, it’s loud as hell. And that knowledge is what made slamming it so satisfying

Yeah especially if you did it while they were in the middle of speaking.
I did it once to a boss who threatened to fire me if I didn’t cover a Sunday shift. I said I quit instead, and they started to backtrack.
I close my eyes and relive that detectable moment sometimes. I remember everything about it. My roommate was smoking a menthol cigarette by the window and her dog barked at the sound of me slamming the receiver home.
I think this might be my Nexus.
