Bring back the phone booth

Yesterday, I was in an antique shop where they have an old wooden phone booth for sale.

Since you don't see phone booths much anymore, I find them interesting and cool. For me they carry a lot of nostalgia. I know I don't really have a place for that old phone booth, but that didn't stop me from thinking about where I could put it.

I realized the phone booth could re-emerge today as a "cell phone booth." It could be a place for you to step aside and take a call in privacy - other than the restroom.

Imagine if companies installed "mobile phone booths" so employees can step out to take important calls and not have to bother their coworkers. Men could reaffirm their love for their wife without putting their heads down and mumbling in a low voice, "I love you too."

They could possibly double up as prayer closets too. I might even add a dry-erase board on the interior for convenient note taking. Any other ideas?
