Not nearly as exciting, but when I was a teen and I went someplace in
the evening, Mom would have me call collect for myself when I arrived
safely and she’d reject the call so that it wouldn’t cost anything.
My parents suspected me to cause those high phone bills and put a little
lock into the dial.
So I dialled with the cradle. The next two phone bills were just as high
as before and the lock was withdrawn again.
