I was also alive when you could throw your cell phone in a fit of rage and you'd get a new one for $50.
I went through a couple of phones that way with my ex.
I remember sitting there waiting to be called on by the Verizon rep, and a little old lady sitting next to me said, "You threw your phone, didn't you?"
-"Yes, Ma'am."
—"That's gonna cost you $50!
Do you think it was worth it?"
-"Every time.
It's a lot cheaper than bail."
