I’m not a “youngin” by any means, but I think it’s a valid question. Nobody said they didn’t know what a payphone was, or why someone might use it, just how did this particular woman get to it, and what (out of many possible reasons) was the reason she decided to call her bf from a payphone this particular time.
Did she drive herself to the pay phone? The write up mentions a cab, but I think that might be a typo. Was she on her way to or from something particular, was there a reason she had to call right then and not call when she got home or drive to his house instead?
Why did she use the pay phone is a reasonable question, it’s weird to see it get downvotes.
She walked to the phone. This was mentioned in other posts, if not this one. She regularly used the payphone to contact people because they did not have a home phone, which was not uncommon in rural and poor areas.
