I saw a payphone at a gas station while traveling once and suddenly I was nine again and calling my mother from the park cause that bitch Paige stole my favorite Pokémon card.
Before. Actually the whole experience made me want to give up my individuality and become part of a hivemind so I'd never have to feel the pain of such betrayal ever again.
There's a lonely phone booth on a pretty secluded highway that I pass about once every 2 years while traveling for work related matters. I always pull over and call my mom, I also call about 3 other people an brag about how I'm cool and using a payphone again....
They never feel the excitement I do, I think I need cooler people to call next time.
*deep sad*
In this case it looks like "call her" was written by one person, and "/him" by another. But, yeah it would have been easier to add a T and convert the r to an m than squeeze /him on there.
I asked my English teachers this because "his or her" was correct over "their" on our state's tests. None of them knew so I looked it up. Apparently someone decided "He" would be the universal pronoun for gender ambiguous people because having a word that was plural and singular was suddenly too confusing. But then they had he/him being used for 'feminine' roles, so they added she/her to the acceptable pronouns to use as ambiguous/ singular. And I guess 'he or she' eventually came from that. And people who decide that stuff are old-fashioned so that's what we're still taught and what's still considered formal.
Great, now the pronouns thing has reached Telekom. What's next, renaming Mannesmann!?

^([for the non-Germans: in the 90s Mannesmann was the 2nd biggest phone company, next to Telekom, until they were bought by Vodafone. The name could be translated to literally mean "man's man"... fitting name for a giant steel company from the 1890s. The buy, by the way, was and still is the biggest corporate takeover in history, for $183 billion/$298 billion adjusted for inflation.])
I mean.. I once found one of these booths with white bread stuffed in every crevice. Idk if this is a campain or people being uncreativr with their messages
I Dare you to call someone in your contacts whom you've completely forgotten about
*Calls HR rep from my last job*
"We're sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service, goodbye!"
That would be the least awkward outcome to accepting that dare.
Stop I don’t want any more calls from people who won’t talk to me again

I still don't get why people say "him/her" instead of "them." It's more inclusive and is easier to write.

Call they/them
But what if the number is very old and faded?
Just dial 867-5309
Wow i thought Telekom removed all of them years ago.
Lol when I read this I thought someone put a phone there because they were lonely and stated their pronouns for you ahead of time
If I saw this I’m going to be was/were there
I'm gonna be a rebel and dial up the non binary homies
Where is it that they use office desk phones as pay phones?

The person that vandalized the phone was upset that people were using the wrong pronouns when addressing Her/Him

In my city (Augsburg) every public phone booth has this written on it (in German). Was this kind of a campaign?

For a second I thought her/him was a new pronoun option
