There’s a pay phone at the new HEB gas station near me. I had to do a double-take that in the year 2026 there was actually a brand new pay phone installed at a gas station.

The same thing with the Travis Tritt song Here's A Quarter (Call Someone Who Cares).

The smell of the handset was DISGUSTING.
Every time.

The rotary dial version was even better.

We had a payphone at my elementary school, and I remember there used to be a number you could call and it would call you back and we all thought it was the coolest thing that we could dial a number and make the phone ring. We used to do that shite all the time. 
Simpler times.
