#12 is something that younger people didn’t/don’t have to deal with now– that was always super awkward!

And LOL @ #22! I love the Japanese word for pager– “pokeberu”. I heard that around last month for the first time and got a good laugh. I think the relatively high ranking for that really dates the people who took the survey. Speaking of the people who took the survey, why did teens participate?
