35. A Perfect Example of Misused Power
Oh, the 90s. What a wild time for technology. It’s frankly impressive that engineer went through all the effort to build a PBX in the house just to give his kids their phone bills. On the other hand, it’s not a terrible way to teach them how to be responsible.
The big question is where they would get the money to pay it from. The stranger thing is the presence of a payphone; teaching your kids responsibility is one thing, but charging guests to use your phone is another. Yet another breach of the Law of Hospitality we can add to our record.
