I might...if I was feeling silly and chatty!
-
LOL !! Nope ! Ever since I saw the movie "Phone Booth" , I always think of some crazed sniper focused in on the phone booth. I'd just walk on by.
-
No way. Not because I couldn't randomly chat it up with a stranger for a bit, but the germies all over that phone makes me sick to my stomach!
-
Ohhhhh such a hard question, worthy of some points :))) I am a very curious person so I think I would pick up that phone! I'd be scared though. Curiousity killed the cat!
-
Yes id answer it,have done it before!No big deal
-
Yes I would. To see who is calling and you know.LOL!!!! You could probably find some info that you were looking for too. (maybe.)
-
No, I'm just not interested in who is on the other end. Usually it's the council checking they're working, or the kids who live opposite having a laugh to see who will pick up and what their reaction will be.
-
Yes, I always answer a phone booth phone. I also always have two answers ready: 1) Domino's can you hold please *then I just wait until they respond* 2) Steve's house of pain, how may I direct your call? *and I wait for a response* It's really a lot of fun.
-
Yes, most definitely I'd answer it. And I'd have a little fun, while at it. Sort of like a reverse crank call. "So John, you're running late ... I really need the stuff now ... I think I'm being watched ... hold on ..."
-
No... but I used to make the pay phone ring back on itself at school all the time and see how long before someone picked it up... I was bored during lunch without a car...
-
Yes, because it would be my wife. She's everywhere, man.
-
Yes, I always do. It's fun to see what people think they are dialing.
-
No... Public phones are scary dirty...
-
If they still had phone booths I would.
-
First I would have to find a phone booth, I don't think they exist anymore.
-
Probably not at a phone booth phone, but on more than one occassion, I have answered a ringing phone at my local Walmart. Usually, the person on the other end doesn't know what to make of it.
-
How could anybody not? Just the thought makes me imagine who it could be :)
-
I have alreadly. It was while I was vacationing, so I figured "Hey, it's not like I know any of these people," so I answered it and claimed to be the person that was thought to be answering the phone. It was absolutely hilarious. If given the chance again, I would do it without hesitation!
-
Yes...This is the "Pussycat Theatre". How may I help you?
-
Nah , knowing my luck it would be a telemarketeer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG7TsDMWy-o This bloke is angry ( link ).
-
yes. i would even try to have a conversation with the person when i picked up. i would be talking in short sentences in a three year olds voice to confuse them. maybe pretend i have a.d.d. or a.d.h.d.
-
Yes, and I have. We have a pay phone in the nursing home I work in and I am always answering that phone.
-
I have a true story about this one. My dad was picking up a friend and then going to work. Well he was picking up his friend at a small convienience store (very early in the morning, before the sun was up so it was still dark)and his friend was running late. He went to the pay-phone (this was before everyone has cell phones) to call him. When he walked up to the pay-phone it started to ring. Taken by surprise he answered it on instinct. The person hung up and he called his friend. He got back in his truck to finish his coffee and started smelling poop. He checked his shoes and what-not but couldn't find it. He happened to look in the mirror and saw poop smeared on the side of his face. Some kids had smeared poop on the receiver and then called th enumber to see if anyone would fall for it. WELL...my dad did and called my mom to tell her what had happened. He said he got out of the truck and started yelling into the darkness all kinds of obsenities to who, he didn't know. He made my mom promise not to tell anyone (as she was laughing her butt off at the story). After she hung up with him she called everyone we knew and told them all about my dad's pay phone crappy adventure. We haven't let him live it down to this day.
-
If the voice you hear when you pick up is Keifer Sutherland then you would wish you had'nt.
-
I'd hand it to my buddy and say It's for you
-
yeah i would, i have done before
-
oh hell yes, im very nosey and would love to chat to someone different!!
-
Yes. When they ask for someone, reply, "You realize this is a pay phone, right?" If they persist, reply " They can't talk right now, they're too busy going down".
-
sure just for kicks
-
Yes, It could be important.
-
yep did it..haha and noone was there...wierd!!
-
WHY WOULD SOMEONE WANT TO PICK-UP THE PAYPHONE?
-
I did it once. I put on my best British accent, and convinced the guy on the other end they had called London. We spoke for about five minutes before I finally told him. Fortunately, he thought it was funny too!
-
Hell no haven't you seen that movie where the man answers the phone in the phone booth and like can't hang up or he will be blown up.
-
yeah, i've actually done every single time it's happened to me, like at a bus stop, etc. usually i say "domino's pizza..." hehehe...
-
Helllll no! I've seen die hard, and unlike the hero's I'm not going to find that bomb, I'm gonna run like the coward I am!
-
Oh, yes I would. I'm really nosy.
-
No I think that's really creepy!
-
No actually i'd hang around to see if superman shows up!
-
maybe, have u ever answered one?
-
creepy story actually, a few years back (when i went to high school in Kingman) me and 3 other girls rode together in the same car to school, we stopped at a little gas station cause dena and kenya wanted something, so me and cheyanne hear the phone ringing, i jump out and answer it, CREEPY on the other line is this guy saying he would pay me 100$ if i let him suck on my feet and toes for a half hour...i grossed out and hung up... the phone rang again, this time cheyanne answered, he said the same thing and she just messed around for a minute..(meanwhile the 2 other girls were coming back to the car) then they guy on the phone said something like 'oh i can see the four of you right now blah blah blah,,,, needless to say we freaked and hauled ass to school which was only a few blocks away.. but i guess that person does that all the time, to all the pay phones in kingman which is really creepy,
-
Vlad, I agree with u dude that movie was a really creepy one!
-
Yeah back in the day when there were no snipers or road side bombings, just the other day the street was shut down due to a brief case that had wires sticking out. sorry but I value my life I won't be on the receiving end here! LOL
-
I would but I never see them anymore. My friend and I have been looking for a payphone so we can call it when somebody walks by. Then we're gonna tell them to do stuff and see if they're actually doing it, or just saying they are.
-
I answered ph in Liverpool UK & got a surprize,the lad asked me if such n such is around,it was busy so he gave me his name to help narrow the search,to cut it short I'd had my future read about 3 months earlier & I,d made a list of what was told,the name of the lad on the ph was the same as the name on the list!I did'nt tell that lad ,I was young & really just wanted to get home & make sure the name was right,it was but I wish I had told him.It sounds wierd like the Twlight Zone~~~N E ways answer the ph,whats the harm.I'm in Perth australia now & you can't ring a public ph box.TARA CATHY
-
nope. WHY???
-
Not a chance i would run the other way
-
heck no! havent you seen phonebooth??? jk.
-
if you answed the phone booth you should just let in ring but if it go on you pip just brake the phone or pick it up and then put it down thanks
-
As a caring individual of course I would answer it. Put yourself in another persons shoes ie: the caller, You unknowingly misdialed 2 numbers and it's a very important call. Be a good samaritan/Human/American and help someone out.
-
No, i would not because i would not be expecting a call. I also would be concerned about germs...
-
I'd say, "Superman speaking. How may I help you?"
-
yes i would i would have fun with it to but then i would make sure i got sum grem x or wipes or somin that would make my hades clean after i messed aroud with tha person on tha otha end.
-
No, in case it was a drug dealer I could get in trouble with the cops.
-
I would! Then I would mess with the person on the other line a little for a good laugh!
-
Sure, why not? It might be fun.
-
Yep! I used to know the number you could dial to make a phone booth phone ring. I would dial it and walk away and watch people answer it. lol!
-
You can pick it up and mess around with them. Just hope they aren't watching the booth and identify you. In other words if a public phone is ringing there is probably someone who knows it is ringing or is waiting for it to ring. In some neighborhoods I would just walk by and let it ring.
-
I'd wonder how I time traveled back to 1987.
-
Of course, then I would get out the antibacterial gel and clean my hand after hanging up.
-
I have done in the past, and I would again! I've had some great chats with the person on the other end. Once I had to set up a date with the bloke on the phone and the girl really fancied! I went to her hous to ask her - I was a bit embarrassed, I was only about 17 myself! She accepted him but I never did hear what happened. I hope it went well :)
-
Since I watched the movie "Phone Booth", I never pick up.
-
yes... i am the most curious person on the planet.
-
ya, possibility of no balance in phone .
-
Uhhh... no. I'd probably duck and run in zig-zags too! I've seen that movie "Phone Booth". ^_^;
-
I'd first have to FIND a phone booth. They are extinct.
-
If you had asked this question a few years ago, before the movie Phone Booth, I would have said "Yes, absolutely"! Now....not so much!!
-
no, it obviously wouldnt be any1 calling for me, and you never know whos watching you
-
yes, i cant stand a ringing phone
-
no, no1 ringing for me in a phone booth/box every1 i know knows my mobile number!! it would annoy me tho and if i was with some1 id make THEM answer it! but i wouldnt personally, i have a phobia of phones!
-
id love to you could be anyone you wanted to be and thats a rare opportunity
-
Ive seen too many movies to know a second later..I could be shot right in the face for doing so.
-
Never - I hate talking on the phone.
-
No, it could be somebody offering me $1000 to strip on the spot and I might be tempted.
-
Sure, i see no reason not to.
