I answered a ringing payphone in an otherwise empty train station. Life goal achieved!

I also spent a week surviving in the wilderness a couple times, slept out for multiple days in below-zero temperatures, built and slept in a snow-dome shelter, and so on, but that's just life in the Scouts.

And I judged the world's largest annual scavenger hunt for years.

Yo, that's super cool. +1 on the who was on the phone?

A woman whose son was supposed to be there waiting for the train. She sounded really annoyed; obviously he wasn't there.

Wait, what happened when you answered? Did it start the plot of payphone?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

No, but that's definitely what was on my mind.
