Payphone Pranks |
|
|
Make a collect call or a 3rd party call and bill it to a payphone
Call 911 on a payphone and run
Tape string to a quarter and pull it out after it registers
Prank call the girl you like but don't have the guts to talk to, and
tape-record her voice
Pour salt water down the coin chute (depending on the payphone you use, it can
screw up the wiring making it unusable)
Use paper towels to jam the coin return slot (takes some work if the payphone
has a door on the slot, but still doable. Then return later to unjam it and
steal whatever coins get caught
Have fun!

** Will not work; the tape adds too much thickness - and if one trys the |
edge, there is not enough strength. Furthermoer, there is a mechanical
"catch" to prevent that possibility.

Maybe someday your car will die in a desolate place that has a pay phone
damaged by a someone like you. Have fun walking. W
