Same. I was standing outside my dorm room on the phone with my shirt off (back when that would garner more than a few long glances from some), and my future wife was breaking school regs and shortcutting unescorted through the males-only dorm (we still had those). As she went by she kept a looong glance going... we met again randomly at an event a couple of days later and laughed about it. Nearing 50 years later we still laugh about it.

There's missing some context.

Did you have a really long cord? Was it in the hallway or out the window?

Yeah, I'd replaced the cord with one that could reach anywhere in the room or outside into the hall.
