    4. In 1882, a Cincinnati man's phone privileges were revoked for shouting "damn your telephone" when an operator connected him to the wrong number. He sued and lost. Swearing at telephone operators became illegal in many places in the U.S. And in 1902, a doctor in St. Louis was arrested, put on trial and found guilty of using abusive language toward an operator. He was fined $5.
    That should be made back into law and heavily enforced...but with the money from the fines going to the agents.
