George is desperate to get to the payphone and an obnoxious person is having an overly long conversation despite George later loses an opportunity to use the phone after the first man leaves. George goes on a rant that it's a CrapsackWorld, only for the man to actually go up to George and apologize. George non-chalantly accepts his apology.
