I was having trouble using a pay phone once a number of years ago. Kept putting in my quarter, nothing would happen, I’d have to try to make the coin return work (about a 4% prospect, usually). When all else failed, I opened the coin return to see if my quarter actually came out. Pulled out almost $10 in change — after which the phone worked.

Dude they dont use coins anymore, and you’d be lucky to find a payphone nowadays.

Remember going to the airport as a kid., major score on the phones there. People in a hurry would hang up and leave change in the phones

Why did he need to open the little door? Lead lined coin returns?

That’s an old Gary Larson joke. And he needed only one panel.
