do you remember the last time you used a payphone?

What was the call about?

I was in a really shady part of town and needed to be picked up.

My mom used one in 2003 to make a call to her sister

It turned out to be a time machine.

No, but I have seen one, in front of a local convenience store.
@4meAndyou Other than the white supremacist crap, the democrats were a great bunch of folks! Take away "reconstruction", "the KKK", "Jim Crow", and every other racist 'black eye' this country has, and the passive aggressive racism of LBJ ("this will keep those niggers voting democrat for the next 200 years.") 1964. Yeah.......... other than that, I would say Roosevelt was one of the best presidents in US history, and the democrats have a long history to be introspectively proud of!

@puck61 Did you know that after I mentioned one or two of those points, above, a liberal radical here on SW told me that the Republicans are the Democrats now.😵

Pay phone? What pay phone?

I called my mother at lunchtime in the school cafeteria to tell her I was getting out early. The thing was, the damn phone took my money, but I was yelling, "Hello...hello..." into the phone and I could hear my mom on the other end, but the call wasn't transmitting. She was sure she was getting an obscene call and when I called the second time my one brother took the call.He didn't hear me either, swore at me, and hung up in my ear.

On the way home, I saw another pay phone at the corner of the gas station's parking lot. I called again, this one went through and my brother answered again."Let me talk to Mom," I snapped.

I explained to Mom - but she never made my brother apologize for swearing at me. It was the last time I ever used a pay phone .

August 2017. I was in another country and couldn't use my own phone for international calls, so I had to use a payphone in the city.
I never used one in my 22 years of life lol

Selling meth
@SW-User Wow! I was just reading an article about the scourge of preadolescent meth dealers in the last decade. So sad........ so scary. There was a disturbing interview with an eight year old cook! Rough looking dude, but he had a bad ass Big Wheel!

There used to be an old-school phone booth in town, until 10 years ago. I've rarely ever used it.
It was in the 90s. If memory serves, I was at the Civic Center BART calling the bank to see if a check had cleared before I went shopping.
