One of the popular mincha places was a bank of phone booths (the old-fashioned kind, where you could close the door & the lights were usually broken) on the ground floor of one of the buildings. One day, when there were lines for all the phones, someone got at the back of the line and waited patiently for his turn at the phone. He emerged a few seconds later totally bewildered - the phone was out of order and he had just spent 15 minutes watching people use it!
