Telephone Tuesday – September 3, 2024
The day after Labor Day can be a busy time following such a fun, end-of-summer holiday weekend. In fact, there is so much to do and so many calls to make on this day that it has been dubbed Telephone Tuesday.
So get ready to make and receive some calls on this, one of the busiest phone call days of the year!
History of Telephone Tuesday
When the telephone was invented, more than a century in the 1880s, the world was changed forever. It may have started slowly, with a few telephone lines put into some major cities, but the technology blossomed all over the world. By the middle of the 20th century, the majority of homes in the United States had a telephone. And by 1998, the number of telephones in the nation surpassed the number of people.
And even though the use of the internet and email has certainly changed the way that modern people use their phones, there are still some things that have to be accomplished with a phone call. And Telephone Tuesday is here for it!
Telephone Tuesday is the day that there seem to be more calls made in the United States than any other day. Situated on the day after the Labor Day holiday weekend, perhaps it makes sense that calls are flooding that weren’t made over the holiday weekend.
This is also a time when people tend to want to check boxes off of their to-do lists, including doing things they’ve been putting off, like making doctor appointments or calling the dentist. Or it could be a time to make a call to the auto repairman about the mysterious dent that showed up in the bumper over the weekend.
Just remember that the person on the other end of the line is probably having a busy Telephone Tuesday, so be sure to give them some extra patience on this day – and perhaps every day!
How to Celebrate Telephone Tuesday
Those who are looking for interesting ways to celebrate Telephone Tuesday need to look no further! Check out some of these ideas for observing the day and making it special:
Make a Phone Call
Some folks have gotten pretty far away from making actual phone calls. With a range of communication options from emails to texts to video chats, the idea of making just a regular old telephone call might feel a bit strange. But Telephone Tuesday might be the perfect time to make a phone call, whether to a business to set up an appointment or calling a friend just to say hello. Certainly, Mom, Grandma, or Aunt Betty would be thrilled to receive a telephone call on this day!
