When you "answer" your
cell phone even though it did NOT ring, in order to avoid speaking to someone
annoying (1) who has walked up to you, or (
2) called you on your phone.
Phoney calls:
(1)
{Annoying person walks up to you and starts talking}
"Hi, how's it going?"
{You} "Wait, hold one, my cell phone is vibrating."
{Reach into pocket, pull out phone, flip it open} "Oh man, I'm gonna have to take this.
Sorry. We'll talk later.
{Walk away and
fake a phone conversation}
(
2)
{Someone
annoying calls you from a NEW phone number, that you do NOT have programmed into your phone, so you "accidentally" answer it to see who it is}
{Annoying person} "Hi. How's it going?"
{You} "Oh great. Wait. Hey, I got another call coming in, it's pretty important, so I guess I'm gonna have to let you go.
Sorry. Call back soon. Bye. {You hang up and NEVER answer that phone number again!}
