I’m trying to come up with a shorter name for this phenonmenon:
That’s-not-my-cellphone-ringing-although-it-reminded-me-
that-I-still-have-mine-on-but-I’m-waiting-an-extra-miniute-
to-turn-it-off-so-you-don’t-think-that-ringing-was-from-me.
That’s not my phone!
Happening right now on Spudart: Press a leaf in an envelope with the date and story written on it until 2026-10-31
How about this: “I’m turning off my phone because your ringing phone reminded me that I forgot and I would hate to be as embarrassed as I’m sure you are … jerk” :^P
Oooh . . . When you do come up with a name, do post it. :o)
Norms dictate that wireless in public be private.
OK, I wasn’t very helpful there … Are you looking for an acronym or what? Throw me a bone. I’m outta the loop [literally!”> ;^)
OK, TOM SHERMAN is helping a little
“I AM PETE” It Ain’t My Phone Encumbering on The Event
IMBO BINGO! It May Be On, But It’s Not Going Off!
“Fire faux pas torpedos! Evasive maneuvers! Shields up!”
Ha! IMBO BINGO is my favorite so far.
Maybe this one will work: “Not Me!”
