When and where did you last see someone using a pay phone?

Penn Station, Wednesday. It was baffling.

The last time I saw someone use a payphone was a drag queen at 17th & Q Streets.

It was outside Club Chaos, and she was the waitress during drag bingo.

SHe was a whole lot of woman!

New York - On 5th or Madison (I can't remember).

in the metro - and the conversation looked heated.

Pay phone receivers are to your ears what public toilets are to your butt. They should have disposable ear covers.

FYI - the last time I saw mass people using them was on 9/11 as the networks were all down. Creepy.

This is a long comment...

There was a woman on a pay phone in the bathroom at Lauriol Plaza on Friday night. It was oddly weird.

I saw this guy go into a phone booth and when he came out his glasses were gone and he was wearing a cape...do you think that's weird??

I saw the same weird woman in the bathroom of Lauriol Plaza. I bet the person on the other end heard some interesting background noise.

Who puts a phone in a bathroom??!

after 3+ years of living in DC, I finally saw someone using a pay phone in a Metro station a few weeks ago.

The last time I remember using one myself was in Alice Springs, Australia the summer of 2000.
