you know when your on the bus or train (or any other situation) and there's a person sitting across from you or next to you, and it gets awkward. you start to take out your phone and text?
i do! i mean what else can i do. i don't usually text to a friend but i just type random things in my phone. lol
i'm sure i'm not the only one

[roartehgoar]

YES. ahhahaah, or ill just open my phone and look at the time. then shut it and open it etc.

[DamnRight]

No, I look at my shoes.

[TICKLE ME Jx2]

I do! Or I take out my Ipod and turn it up!

[tofumonkey]

i don't text at all in the first place,
so i just take it out and type a message and then not send it cause i'm lame.
or i look through pictures or play demo games ~_o !
but most of the time i just get my ipod (WHICH I ALREADY HAVE OUT ;D ! )
and watch a video or listen to music or play a game :o .

[kishycathiee]

nah i actually DO text in awkward situations. hahaha sometimes i mass text "i'm so boooored, talk to me"

[r i na]

I either take out my music and listen to it and text, I don't like the feeling of someone staring at me
or look through the artists on my iPod, or my contact list haha

[MOOVERDOSE]

^ I know someone that looks like that. Complete with the hair and everything. LOL

I don't 'pretend' to text, but I do text random things to people when I haven't got much to do.

[del32]

LOL Yeah, as a matter of fact I tend to do that all the time too Especially when you're on a bus and dont want to look at the person who's sitting across from you

[xindi]

LOLOL YES... although typically it is actual texting.

I DONNO, somehow just sitting there and staring into nothing gets really awkward haha.

[my_angel03]

YES! I do this when I'm alone to make it seem like I'm occupied. I'm so lame. I type random things I see and feel on the memopad features on my phone.

[milly]

I don't pretend to text but I do mess with my phone a lot and play games occasionally.

[HeartOnHerSleeve]

Ehhhh...no. I just sit there XD

[tvxqlover23]

Ahaha, I actually text a friend to call me, so I can get up and walk away and take a breather for a sec.

[songielove]

That's too funny because i just joined the Pretending to Text in Awkward Situations group at Facebook.

[romanntic]

^ haha, that's exactly what I was thinking about when I saw this thread. XD
I think I do pretend to text alot... either that, or I randomly look through my bag and make myself look busy.

[iyaiyayeo]

haha!yes especially when i'm alone and i have no one else to talk.sometimes, i pretend to be text someone or just click anything on my phone.

One time, I bumped into my teacher outside the classroom, but still on campus. As she was about to start a long conversation about how I'm always asleep in her class, I whipped out my cellphone and pretended someone just texted me something important and walked past her quickly....

[malayka]

yeaah. OMG I thought I was the only one. I used to pretend to be on the phone too when I used to take the bus because this annoying guy used to start a conversation with me all the time. Lmao. Now I know normal pple don't do that but he was sooo freaking annoying. lmao
