We lost our way with indoor plumbing. We created a generation of youth too lazy to walk outside in the snow to use the outhouse. When I was a young'n, we walked twenty miles each way for school and spent the rest of the day playing with a stick in the back yard.
Y'all have it too easy with all these gosh darn infernal contraptions. And it's getting dangerous out there, too ! Just the other day, one of them there horseless carriage things nearly run me down after Mr Ed threw a shoe and I had to stop the buggy.

My kids give me hell for not taking the phone when I go out for rides!!! They said,, what if you we need you in an emergency... I said "Can not hear the phone ring in the trunk of the Harley!" Then they said "well what do we do if there is an emergency?" and I said take a Black Marker,, get a sheet of paper and write the note and tape it to the garage door so I will see it as soon as i get home... They didn't think that was funny...

In the waning days of the pay phone and heyday of the pager drug dealers had the pay phones staked out as their personnel phone. Sometimes just holding the receiver acting like they were using it to keep others away.
Or when you really needed one someone yanked the cord off.
You had to have a calling card or a pocket full of quarters to call LD home. The operator would remind you to add more money after 3 minutes or cut you off.
I remember going to rally's and there were long lines waiting to use the phone.
There was a small motorcycle campground in North Carolina. They only had one phone and it was not a pay phone so the Guy would set there with you making sure you did not make a LD call on his bill.
The first time I went to Daytona and met up with everyone arriving at different times through cell phones was great.
Riding between a break in a storm in western Kansas by watching the weather radar on my smart phone.
Finding an $8 steak dinner at a topless bar for lunch in Fayetteville on my smart phone.
Finding an American family owned Bed and Breakfast for a reasonable price on my smart phone in Ohio and not having to stay in the seedy motel in town.
You can keep the nostalgia. I will take my cell phone.
