Times have changed so much that telephone booths are almost becoming relics now that everyone uses a mobile phone.
I remember years back at home in Nigeria when the phone booths were far and few in-between and the queue as long as half a mile – maybe I exaggerate on the length, but you get the idea – and everyone waited patiently to take their turn to make that phone call.
Friendships were struck on these lines, quarrels picked and fights were fought when someone appropriated the phone for too long. All in all, it was an interesting time.
Nowadays, everyone is bent over their piece of gadget and hardly say hello again.

So true. I can even remember making prank calls with my girlfriends in these booths when we were young and mischievous.

What a memory. The best part was waiting patiently on the other side for that phone call.

I know right. Either receiving or calling were both fun 🙂

Perhaps we should clear all the Ipads, Andriods, bla…bla and go back to the good ol-days…heeeheee some people will crucify me! But seriously we sometimes need to switch off our gadgets and have a good conversation with friends and loved ones.

We used to call home when we were in hostel…we would go to the booths early morning because the charges were low…wonder years flew away so fast! Great post Jacqueline.

I remember those phone booths. It is amazing how everyone now-a-days has their eyes glued to their cell phone. It cracks me up whenever I walk in the break room at work and every single person is on their phone swiping, texting, and on Facebook. 🙂

Very funny attitude. Break time should be for chilling, conversing and generally warming up to others. Sad

I agree with you Jacqueline. Those phone booths made my day back then, saved a few coins to make calls, and made sure that my phone book was always safe with me. Great days, great memories.
