When I was like 10, I put a dime into a payphone to call a friend but it was busy or something, and when I hung up a quarter fell into the coin return. So of course I did it again and it worked again. I did it once more time, and it worked, but I was afraid I was breaking a law so I didn't try it anymore. Instead I went to the liquor store down the street and bought candy with my ill-gotten wealth.
Omg something similar happened to me once. I kept pressing the hang up thing and quarters kept common out. I was also scared of getting in trouble so I stopped but I’ll always wonder how much more i could’ve gotten.
It's so funny. My net was 75 cents, and I was so afraid I was going to get in big trouble. It went from "Neat! I got a quarter!" to "Oh shit! I'm stealing!"
