Those and round phone jacks about every 10 feet or so. There's a phone jack in the hallway! Not even connected to a landline anymore. And because we opted for the ultra-deluxe old home, an intercom system that made a zapping noise accompanied by a perfect little curl of smoke when we turned it on for the first time. Yeeeehaaaaaa!!!

I'm not even lying when I say that if I had a low wattage intercom system preexisting I'd drag new wire everywhere.

As long as they didn't staple the wire or something.

Omg. This at my house. All old cat 3 phone line. The lines aren't even terminated anymore but I can't pull them out. Same with all the coax lines. So frustrating.
