in the old days when people used pay phones it wasn't all that bad. you had an allotted amount of time with your connection and then the operator, a phone company employee would interrupt you and ask for more money. you might think this was a bad thing. no, many times you were looking for a way to end the conversation without appearing rude. by claiming you were out of coinage the phone company would appear to be at fault when they terminated the call. those greedy corporate people ended your discussion. "phew, saved".
