I wonder who it’s calling?

“Hello?”
“Hi, is your refrigerator running?”
“Well, yes, of course.”
“You better go catch it!”
“Who is this?”
“Your bathtub.”
“Whatever. Stop calling me.”

Some people like to talk on the phone in the tub.
Since mobile phones hit the mainstream, payphones are just a big drain on resources.
Given that phone boxes usually double as toilets in the UK, I guess this is a natural progression.
(btw: 2 quarters? ITYM 40p.)
^^^ this, at least 2/4ers again
The phone always ring when you are in the tub, but does the phone ring when it’s in the tub?
Maybe the handset is taking a bath?
“Hello?”
“Hi, is your refrigerator running?”
“Well, yes, of course.”
“You better go catch it!”
“Who is this?”
“Your bathtub.”
“Whatever. Stop calling me.”
LMAO!
“Splish-splash, I was taking a bath…”
Wait, wait… I’m confused… If it’s a collect call, would they charge it in the phone bill or the water bill???
“You see, Boss, there was a reason I couln’t work today, really… I was terribly sick and – what? What you mean ‘that’s the number of a public phone’? I can assure you I couldn’t even leave my bath tub today!”
“After your bath last night, you gave me a ring. Now it’s my turn.”
As you can see my bathtub thinks it’s Superman…
it’s what the punks of east berlin used to call a single room with a telephone, but without breakfast. in this case even with a bath, of course.
The tub is probably calling a therapist.
“My owner keeps getting in me naked. Did I mention he’s not the skinniest guy around?”
Police recently recived a complaint of repeated calls to a home on Saturday evening. Police were told every call contained the same sound. Water dripping onto something. They traced the call to the source and found something they didn’t quite expect…
“Hello, Information? Yes…. I’m trying to find these two girls…”
Oh goody, manchester is making itself classier all the time >.<
ah gotta love phone boxes. tiolets, skips, brothels is there anything they dont do
The WTF is that this is a BT phone box so it wouldn’t be quarters but 40 pence!!
“Yeah, hi, I wanted to ask, if you’re interested in vacuum cleaners, by any chance.”
Even bath tubs are hit by recession.
Booth, Bath & Begone.
This is how you let the plumbing problem take care of itself.
She is calling her mom to tell her the good news.
“He gave me a ring today! And I said yes!”
..Thats normal in Moss Side, I don’t live in that bit of Manchster though, but it’s a tough area. And I guess this is the reason why some of my friends don’t invite me to theres then.
Amusingly, as long as this telephone booth is as rundown as the bathtub, the two objects fit together very well… though the two quarters are obtusely placed somewhere. Somebody get this onto a home decor expo.
When I saw this pic I knew it was a UK phonebox, but for some reason Manchester instantly sprung to mind. Then I saw it was in Moss Side…typical.
I live in Manchester by the way, so it’s more a case of ‘seen this kind of thing too often’ than, ‘yeah, that has to be manchester’
