Have you ever used a phone booth?
They were already an endangered species by the time of my earliest memories, but there was one in my hometown until I was about 7 or 8 years old (early 1980s), located downtown in an alley. I never used its payphone, but I did go inside it once when I got caught in a downpour, like this [presumably] British guy did:

Being inside a phone booth in the pouring rain is awesome, by the way.
In the late 1990s I was living in a town that had a bowling alley with an old-fashioned indoor Western Electric wooden phone booth, like this:

I loved that thing, and used it all the time to call my girlfriend. The owner of the bowling alley occasionally bitched about how much time I was spending in there (even when no one was waiting to use it), but the payphone allowed unlimited time for a quarter (local calls). Then the jackass burned the whole place down to collect insurance money, so that was the end of that. Well, that was never proven, but everyone believed he did it. He was shady as the day is long. I haven't encountered a phone booth since then.
