      I've broken plenty of phones back in the day from slamming the handset down on the cradle. What do you do if you break a public pay phone? I mean, besides run away?

        Why run from the broken public? Not like they ever knew

            For the modern effect, get a foldable or clamshell phone and flick it closed with some major sass.

            It's the best thing about having a foldable.

                I think what people don't appreciate about this is that it's not just about slamming the phone. The other person can HEAR you slam the phone, it's loud as hell. And that knowledge is what made slamming it so satisfying

                  Maybe this is why articles are always saying "So and so SLAMS Such and such". Nostalgia

                    I mean, really the modern equivalent is throwing your phone at a hard surface.

                    It certainly makes a statement. Fuck all of this to the point I'm going to sever contact with the world and throw away a ton of money.

                        If you slam it hard enough you can still do this.

                          Or you can just simply slap your face. It has a similar sound effect.

                                  I had one of those Nokia candybar phones back in the late 90s early 2000s. nothing was more therapeutic than just chucking the phone across the parking lot at mach 1. walking over to the pieces, assembling it, and going on with your day.

                                    With the og flip phones you should still somewhat do this. Must've been a slight delay between closing and the call disconnecting.
                                    Slight enough to hear those plastic casings clap.

                                      The payphone is by the school lockers. That brings back memories 👴🏼

                                          break a public pay phone

                                          At the zenith of that technology, the phone company(ies) had already battle tested countless other designs. The newest relics you find are hardened enough to be left unattended in the most vandalism prone areas imaginable. Each one, a little fortress perfectly protecting delicate electronics and a coin-box. Slam it all you want: they're nigh-on indestructible.
