A classic move people do to reply to messages when they actually cannot help or talk. This can be email or a text telling the person who had reached out that they would reply back but cannot because of some lame excuse. People often wait and only reply either hours, days or weeks later, when they are in no position to really answer or reply. This is really common and quite insulting as the reply is a joke, not sincere and really lame. Easy to see right thru most people that do this.
I finally heard back days later from my text to a friend, saying they could not talk because they are getting on a plane for a trip. They waited days before replying and only answered with a insincere response the moment they could no longer be able to talk.
