pay phones

Do you remember these things?

public phones

it has been a while since i saw a working pay phone, that doesn't have any missing pieces or any graffiti around it. a proper working pay phone. 

i remembered those days where these phones were essential, since mobile phones weren't that big of a deal. phone cards were collectable items! haha. i remembered using the pay phone at school, both primary and secondary, to call my mom to get her to pick me up. sometimes me and my mum would go out to the store and stop by the pay phones to call our relatives. we'd have to collect tons of coins before hand tho. i would be the one inserting the coins while my mum gossips away with her sisters *chuckles*

i know for a fact that some of my friends got their boyfriends through these pay phones. prank calls and stuff like that. 

but after awhile, people misuse these things. they vandalize, they don't appreciate these things anymore, since we're in the new era with greater technologies, pay phones are just a waste of space and material. but i'm guessing these things only happens in the town, where as in rural areas, pay phones are essential, right? 

where am i going with this?

no where actually. i found a non-working pay phone outside the library this afternoon. was surprised/excited to see one.

that is all.
ok bye!
