Talking How Long has it been since you used it.

Been a long time since I used one. I am not that old, er, well..., it used to cost a dime. Now it is a novelty.

Last one I used was likely in 1999 when I called my parents to check in while I was backpacking around Europe after college graduation. Ask today's generation what that is and they will have no clue.

When I was a kid the world was really different. My mom would drop me off at the movies on a Saturday. When I got ready to come home, I would call her from a pay phone in the lobby of the theater. There was always a long line for that pay phone. I finally got smart and started going across the street to the bowling alley. There was a row of pay phones there and never a line. I also could enjoy hanging out there for a while. I also used a pay phone to call home while I was in college. I always had to call collect.
