oh wow…. I sooooo remember this feeling. But when I was teen it wasn’t just the ear it was the neck from holding the cordless phone between my ear & shoulder.
As someone who was a teenager in the 80s, it was my personal observation/experience that teen girls would tend to spend countless hours on the phone. Teen boys, not really.
’50s or early ’60s Dave Berg depicted a housewife on the phone as she did all her daily tasks, head leaning over to hold it to her shoulder, mouth open. Final frame she was dressed to the nines to go out with her husband – head leaning over, mouth open.

for me it’s the left ear, and only the left ear. You see, I don’t have a right one.

At least there’s no time for a scam call to fit in there.

I had a similar complaint about my right thumb and then one day I realized how many times a day I hit the space bar.

Theses days the punchline would read “I don’t know why Dad, but my thumbs hurt!”

Wait until Flo trashes the new apartment and they go after the lease holder. Or she starts running numbers out of the joint…
