Payphone

When using a payphone it's a common habit to face away from the door (or people) - facing the phone. This is a bad habit!

Try instead to have your back against the wall/phone. Yes I know this may make the conversation feel less "private", but you will be a much harder target to hit.

I suggest you begin to watch how people act when they're on a payphone or a cellular phone in public. Then you will see how easy it is for a criminal to set many of these people up for an assault or a theft.

Story:
Toronto, Canada -- Police are investigating after a 36-year-old woman was pulled from a payphone and sexually assaulted in the city’s east end early Saturday morning.

The victim was using a payphone at about 5:30 a.m. when a man grabbed her from behind and dragged her to a nearby grassy area, where she was forced to the ground and sexually assaulted, police said.

The woman fought with her attacker before he fled.
