Whenever you're in an awkward situation, so you pretend to text, so you won't feel as weird. Comes in handy when trying to avoid people you don't like, or aren't comfortable around.
Jenna: Oh my god, Marie's party was so awkward. I just didn't know anyone there.
Amanda: Did you fake-text to make yourself look less socially awkward?
Jenna: Duh, I'm not an idiot.
