Today, I once again used my phone to get out of a conversation with someone, instead of actually talking to someone on it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I pretended to be on the phone to avoid small talk with someone from my building. I spoke loudly into the phone while walking by them. My phone rang in the middle of my fake conversation. FML
Today, my mother dragged me to the mall to get me out of the house and to get me to stop using my phone. She then spent the whole trip talking on her phone instead of actually interacting with me. FML
Today, I pretended to be on a work call to avoid talking to my neighbour. Mid-fake call, my phone actually rang. I had to answer it and have two simultaneous conversations while avioding eye contact with my neighbour. FML
Today, I pretended to be texting to avoid talking to an old classmate I saw at the grocery store. Unfortunately, my phone rang while I was “texting.” It was the classmate. I had no choice but to answer, while we were both standing 10 feet apart. FML
Today, I didn't even bother to turn my cellphone off in a movie theater because I knew no one would text me or call. FML
Today, I forgot what I was doing while listening to a voicemail and started talking back to it. FML
Today, the phone kept ringing so I picked it up and answered. When there was no response, it took a minute to realize that I was still in bed and talking to my hand. FML
Today, I was at my cousin's house. We weren't spending time together because he was always texting. After a couple of minutes, I got jealous. I played a ringtone on my cell, and "answered" it. I had a whole conversation with nobody in an attempt to seem somewhat more popular than a 10-year-old. FML
Today, I purposely went offline on Facebook chat, just so people would think I actually have a life. FML
Today, my boss rang me for the 5th time on my day off. Frustrated I pushed 'ignore' and yelled a string of obscenities at my phone. Turns out I pushed 'talk'. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

But always resorting to pretending you have a call can not be. If you can talk it out with the person that is annoying you/you don't like/ or whatever it can be better and you may find that you like that way better. Best of luck :) sorry the last one wasnt a finished comment it got sent before i realized

if they annoy you/you hate them, why would you want to keep talking to them?

Assuming you have anxiety, that sucks sorry op. Maybe start with family if you want to chat?

It probably made him feel extremely uncomfortable and he needed a way out

It's ok OP, I think we all did this once or twice.... sometimes you're just not in the mood to talk to people.

I think nearly everyone does this sometimes, whether it's pretending to make a phone call or pretending to text. Hardly FML worthy.
