Get the Text and Run mug.
When you text, message, or IM someone, then imediatly leave the room just so you're not around to see their reply. Often involves throwing your phone and leaving, going to bug random family member, and just wasting time until you grow enough balls to see what they said.
Andrew: So i texted her saying I needed some space.
Paul: How'd she take it?
Andrew: I dont know I had totext and run so that I didnt have to deal with that shit.
