Can anyone beat me or come even close?

1. I don't stream, *other than Youtube* I did have Netflicks for a bit, but when my debit card number was stolen, I let it go and never renewed it.

2.I still LOVE going to the cinema/movie theater to watch movies

3.I love sit-down restaurants, never done Door-Dash, nor ANY restaurant app

4.I do my banking IN PERSON, no online, I used to have it, but something was always screwing up with the password and login, so I said let it go!

5. I still have a landline phone and actual PAPER PHYSICAL phone directories, which I use regularly

6. I have a ton of physical media like DVDs, BlueRays, and even a few VHSes, that I watch regularly

7.I have a lot of analog clocks

8. I have and USE physical PAPER calendars

9.I still watch cable TV

I dunno I find it comforting in a way, when I come home from the rush rush world where everything has to be totally current day and the SAME, no one smiling nor being friendly, everyone walking around like zombies gazing at their phone, and step into my retro*ish* apartment to a simpler friendlier time

Never did any streaming, but I do use Youtube on the computer.

Like restaurants. Never done those apps.

4.I do my banking IN PERSON, no online, I used to have it, but something was always screwing up with the password and login, so I said let it go!

Still have a landline, probably only because it's nearly free.

6. I have a ton of physical media like DVDs, BlueRays, and even a few VHSes, that I watch regularly.

Have DVDs and Blu-Rays. The 1998 VCR might still work.

7.I have a lot of analog clocks.

Yep. Just one though.

8. I have and USE physical PAPER calendars

Yep.

9.I still watch cable TV

Yep.

I dunno I find it comforting in a way, when I come home from the rush rush world where everything has to be totally current day and the SAME, no one smiling nor being friendly, everyone walking around like zombies gazing at their phone, and step into my retro*ish* apartment to a simpler friendlier time

Don't use the mobile phone much. Have very few apps.
