Fake Calling Your Imaginary Friend
from the the-life-some-people-lead dept
Apparently, the latest trend is making fake phone calls on your mobile phone. It appears that a lot of people do so, often to get them out of embarrassing situations, to give them some sort of cover story for being late or for forgetting something. Yes, in this age of passing the buck and taking no responsibility ever -- the imaginary friend at the end of a fake mobile phone call is now the latest recipient of the blame game. Of course, for the inexperienced fake caller, you need to learn a few of the basics, such as interjecting a reasonable number of "uh huhs" and "ohs" and (this one is important) turning off your phone or actually calling some automated system so that (whoops) your phone doesn't actually ring while you're pretending to be on it.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
