yeah, payphones really are expensive aren’t they? I spent a couple of quid in one while back in London in Dec, just cos my mobile phone battery died on me, and all I ended up doing was leaving a voicemail message.

Nice sketch Pete! My co-worker forgot her cell phone while travelling, so had to use a pay phone, which just continued to eat her loose change. So much for a pay phone as a back-up phone. Voice automated old calls are crazy….then fool me every time I pick up the phone. But I really can’t understand why anyone would call back these recordings…such a scam – saw a segment on NBC and the news.

Odd, but I recall having several such conversations with cold callers who were at the end of their ropes. I started off with the intention of harrassing them and then the conversations morphed into relief sessions for them because my replies got them laughing, and in one case laughing so hard the caller was crying. Several even asked if it was okay to call back on a tough day for another round of silliness. Hey, i was game if it meant sticking it to the monsters who created those jobs.
