Comment on My phone is not for phone calls

Pro Tip: when someone asks you an open question like this, always reply with “why’s that?” It forces them to either tell you what they want or bail on it, either way you get time to come up with something to get out of it.

I feel like just responding with a “what’s up?” forces that too, without outwardly saying “…before I answer, why?” Then if they do call and you don’t want to talk, you can ignore it or respond with a rejected call text saying, “can’t talk, what did you need?”

Yeah anything that throws it back on them is what you need, “why’s that?” is my go-to, just never give a definitive answer to their first question, it’s always a trap.
