Back in the day there were hotlines for anything from sex to, apparently, crying as evidenced by this weird ad from the 80’s.
1-900-CRY was exactly what you think, a number you’d call to just CRY. It cost $2 for the first minute, then 45 for each additional one to simply have someone listen to you tell a sob story.
Think they’re still available today? Asking for a friend…
