        I was once in New York using an AT&T payphone and trying to place a reverse-charge (or “international collect”) call to the UK and the operator REFUSED to accept that UK phone numbers are ten digits long. You better believe I put that thing through it’s paces.

      I feel like this was more one of these movie things that don’t happen nearly as often in real life.

          I just mean that in normal life, how often do you really get mad enough at someone that you hang up on them? I can probably count that on one hand and I’m not exactly a youngun either. In movies it feels like every other phone call ended that way haha.
