If you are too young you really missed out being able to do this

i mean you can still do this, my mom's SO has multiple landline phones in their house, and i'm sure it's not that difficult to convert an old landline phone to use modern standards with some adapters.
I don’t think anyone was claiming that it was literally impossible.

The payphone is by the school lockers. That brings back memories
My school had an official "smokers' corner." Oh no, not for the teachers. It was for the kids.
And it was inside the building. -
I feel like this was more one of these movie things that don't happen nearly as often in real life.

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.
The only non-functioning payphones I ever saw were the ones where the handset had been sawn off.

Maybe this is why articles are always saying "So and so SLAMS Such and such". Nostalgia
I think that comes from pro wrestling.

I'm old enough to have done this, yet I never have..
You probably weren't that angry when using public phones.

gingerly puts down a $600 iPhone, trembling in anger "...good day, sir."
...yeah, we might need a generation of phones built to be a tank, just so we can properly communicate our wrath to the other person.
Huh. Maybe a 'soundboard' app, which allows you to hang up the current call with a sound effect?

I just mean that in normal life, how often do you really get mad enough at someone that you hang up on them? I can probably count that on one hand and I'm not exactly a youngun either. In movies it feels like every other phone call ended that way haha.

Cell phones didn't exist. Kids need to call to get picked up after hours. There were payphones anywhere they would be used. Malls, Outside fast food restaurants, in shopping centers at gas stations.
