On our recent trip out to the desert we came along this new contraption that I think is ingenious. It's called a "phone booth" and they made it so you can talk on your cell phone in privacy. You go inside and it's quiet as a library in there.
They even give you a place to rest your arm if it gets tired from holding your iPhone.

Today I am listening to ElO's Telephone Line in honor of the industrious men and women who came up with the "phone booth."
Frickin’ genius.
What will they come up next?
That’s hilarious. 🙂
You’re such a dork.. I mean that in a good way. You crack me up.
That’s very funny of you 🙂

So I see we have a similar sense of humor as well.
A Gift Shop and a Phone Booth? That is one fancy desert.
Fantastic!!
Phone Booths are so rare now! This is so funny. A phone booth as art 🙂
This is priceless!
We used the Laguna phone booth for our engagement photos… you can see the link on our blog! 🙂
You are so funny. You know, they are doing away with pay phones here in Florida…not sure it is the case everywhere.
Xertainly warm inside !
Do they install air conditioning too ?
Oh ! They just remove the door instead !
Have a nice Sunday, Suz.
I remember the days when they had phone books and you had a place to sit!
Thanks for stopping by and come back anytime. I’m always home!
Happy weekend1
Hahaha… a rare sight indeed. My niece asked me the other day- You really used to use phone booths? Love the resting place for your iphone. Thanks again for the shout out and link!!
LOL very ingenius!
Interesting…I thought they were little homes for the homeless…at least that’s what I usually see them used as.
But now that I know better…
🙂
Are you sure you weren´t in a museum area or something? Those are so rare.
New World Record is one of the greatest slices of pop opera there has ever been. It´s all good not just that song.
Wow. Technology these days.
Amazing! I think they have one of these at the gas station near me. Now I know what to use it for. Thanks Suz.
A Verizon wireless rest booth! Surely someone unbolted the stool, way else would you have to stand?
lol love it … someday, our kids won’t believe us when we say these existed
Wow…they still MAKE those things? Who knew?
I love it! It funny I never noticed that payphone still existed until the other day my 2 year old ran up to one and wanted to call his Nana.
Ha! I hope you disinfected after touching that!
Better yet if they had a universal charger port so you could talk and charge in peace and quiet
I think those booths are as big as your imagination. For instance, I would call those “Clothing Adjustment Booths” for unhooked bras, melvins, etc. I know some people who would call those “Intimacy Booths” for getting to know someone really, really well.
Still others call those Porta-Potties.
You are beautiful!!!
Who wooda thought phone booths would go the way of the typewriter !! And, I hadn’t even noticed. But, as they say, “that’s progress.!! Well, that’s a good thing.
