I answered a ringing payphone in an otherwise empty train station. Life goal achieved!

I also spent a week surviving in the wilderness a couple times, slept out for multiple days in below-zero temperatures, built and slept in a snow-dome shelter, and so on, but that's just life in the Scouts.

And I judged the world's largest annual scavenger hunt for years.

Yo, that's super cool. +1 on the who was on the phone?

A woman whose son was supposed to be there waiting for the train. She sounded really annoyed; obviously he wasn't there.

Ahahaha that's pretty good. Thanks for sharing. I hope they sorted things out

"Mr. Anderson...."

Wait, what happened when you answered? Did it start the plot of payphone?
