Roxi Horror 💀🌸: I don't know if anyone else gets anxious about phone calls but a little tip I've learned is: if there is a phone call that I don't want to make, before I start dialing the number, I carefully hold the phone in my hand & toss it gently into a lake. I hope this advice helps others.

You can also hit it with a rock but like a really big rock. This is me earlier when i had to make Phone Call

Works every time.

This advice becomes even easier when you live in the state of 1000 lakes!

Thank you for making me genuinely lol ❤️

maybe your pp, but made me dig this up

It’s nice that you give a toss.

Beautiful.

Work keeps putting a new one on my desk. :'(

😂

How does this trick work with face to face conversations you don't want to have?

you just toss them into the lake, i mean 🤷‍♀️

Yes, like gently

yes, gently please

Might I suggest buying a bucket and filling it with water so you don't have to walk to a lake

Gets expensive. I think the only places I’ve had TK actually had to call lately are the IRS and the place I get my pedicure. IRS are surprisingly nice.

Somehow, this implies to me that the pedicure folks will garnish your wages

😂

I can confirm this does [splosh]

This advice seems great and I am excited to try it. Just the specter of a routine phone call ruins my entire day.

I can't afford that solution, Here's a poor guy's solution: carefully lock the phone and put it back in your pocket.

do you attach a rock to it first?

Phone calls - coming in; if I don't know the number, I don't answer. Anyone I know leaves a message and I call back. On making calls; I tell myself they can't see me through the phone.

This is why I do voice instead of FaceTime.

I think the keyword here is gently.

Excellent advice!

Nice here on the neurodiverse side, isn't it? ;-)

Hear, hear!

I wonder how many skips a phone can get? Would android or iphone get more?

Great strategy — A+ no notes — thank you for your service.

See, but then a hand reaches out of the lake, grabs it, and 20 years from now, people are fighting on medieval battlefields with iPhones.

You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ’cause some watery tart threw an iPhone 11 at you!

Every day I convinced more and more bsky.app/profile/ygal...

People who use phones for calling are dangerous psychopaths, and should be avoided.

That is good advice. Kind of expensive, but ok.

so much help

Sound advice 👍🏻

It helps if you do a little pacing first.

If you have no lake available, a train could do.

I have no lakes nearby but there is a small pond. Would this still work? Pls advise.

Tried it, and a stupid lake monster crawled out of the depths, extended a clawed, scaly hand, and dropped the phone at my feet before shuffling back to its sunken lair. Goddamn inconsiderate if you ask me.

Gently. Because, be nice, it's not the phone's fault.

If you don’t have a lake handy, a construction site porta-john also works.

Lololol

I'm understanding all of this but the gently part.

This is an interesting plan, gotta try it out next time 👍

perfect

Driving your car over it works sometimes too

Why are phone calls so stressful and annoying anyway??

Genius
