You can't borrow a phone anywhere at an airport?

Just borrow a phone

You guys are probably on some kind of social media. Shoot her a message on FB or Instagram (or whatever the two of you are into).

How is blocking a friend's phone number until they apply for a job a joke? That doesn't make sense to me. Just borrow a phone if you can, or if there's still pay phones there, use one of those.

Maybe an inside joke? I mean, me and my friends have the word "Wednesday" as an inside joke, so...

Hey, try getting a job for the airport! Then make some money for a new phone and call your best friend to pick you up after you quit!
No, but seriously, there should be public phones at the airport you can use, at least at the ones I've been to.

People have become too reliant on phones and similar technology anyway. Just talk to her face to face. Walk however far it is from the airport to her place, have a REAL conversation in which you ask her to pick you up, and then walk back. Problem solved!

Because walking however far on foot for what probably takes over an hour by car is the best solution. Idiot.

#22, there's no reason to insult Trip for what was obviously a joke. If you can't take gentle teasing and stupid solutions, you're on the wrong comedy website. Visit actual advice columns for that.

WALK from the airport??? Do you usually walk 20 to 30 miles on a highway with luggages?

Wow, that really went over everyones' heads

that's not very nice of her
I suggest calling another friend to pick you up and then, jokingly, make her feel guilty for not being there when you needed her
that or borrowing a phone from someone to call her

Time to go outside and send smoke signals....

Just send a text.

I'm pretty certain you can't receive texts from blocked numbers...

Yeah, can't receive phone calls or texts from blocked numbers.

email have you heard of it!
