Today, I had the cops called on me for acting suspiciously. I was using a payphone. FML

There might be a gun in the top, with a mysterious caller/murderer dictating your every movement. I use movies as real-life examples too.

It's now illegal if you make a call that is not on an iPhone

You hear a phone ring and it could be anybody. But a ringing phone has to be answered, doesn't it?

Guys. You don't understand. He was trying to escape the matrix but the agents found out.

OP was obviously trying to travel back through time to find historical figures so that he and his BFF pass their history presentation.

Maybe he/she was a secret agent trying to get to CONTROL H.Q. Damn it! OP was only trying to prevent an act of terrorism. All is lost because of that nosey neighbor!

Maybe he was about to travel through time and space with one or two of his companions.

I can see how it would look suspicious. Kids these days don't know what they are! Probably thought it was a giant bomb or something :P

You must have been holding the phone in a creepy like manner for them to call the cops on you

Yeah... Have you watched 'Kids React to Rotary Phones' on youtube? :D

I guess you were probably behaving in a shifty manner; hence the cops were called.

36 & 93: comment hijacking is rude. Just saying. 52: I haven't D: I must go watch it now. I imagine it's similar to the time my teenage niece found my old Walkman and wanted to plug it into the computer...

Payphones??? They still have these... I haven't seen a payphone in years. I would say you are up to no good, suspicious looking bastard...

Maybe they thought OP was Dr Who. Phone booths were his favorite mode of transport... ;)

Just wait till people begin to notify the police about people "suspiciously" reading a newspaper.

Hell, try making a call at all. "What's that? Is that like texting?"

So true, where I live every pay phone has been either destroyed, isn't connected or simply vanished and all that remains of them is the booth. God forbid you go with out a cell phone in my town.

83, it is like that here too! I'm always nervous when I don't have my car charger for my cell phone.

True. Most of my poverty-stricken neighbors still manage to have smartphones, cable, and high-speed internet. You'd have to be pretty damn ghetto (or, in this case, suspicious) to resort to using a payphone in my neck of the woods.
