A Thread On Twitter Discussing Excuses To End Conversations Has Gone Viral, And We Are Already Taking Notes!

One would think that now that everyone has been locked away in their houses, with only limited access to everything, people might just come around to the idea of catching up digitally. And while it was all positive in the beginning, talking to friends on phone for hours, there always comes a time when you want nothing more than to just put that call down, and for no good reason. Except, escaping a conversation has never been that easy for any of us. But hey, Twitter and twitterati have come to our rescue.

Trending on the micro blogging site right now, it all started when Naomi Ekperigin, an actress, writer and comedian asked the ever-important question of “How are we ending phone conversations now that we don’t have anywhere to go?” This was important because earlier, we would use work, friends, meeting, real life as an excuse to put that call down and get back to doing whatever we were doing – even if it was nothing. Actually, more so if we were doing nothing.  And so Twitter put its collective brains together to come up with some very fun and funny answers.

Here are some of our most favourite responses from the thread. We honestly can’t wait to try and use on our next phone call with our friends or relatives. All the while hoping they do not come across this article first, else this time the awkward silence might need more than just a sassy comeback to get out of!

From using your dog in the excuse, to blaming it on death, twitter went bonkers and we have been left clutching our stomachs. With over 46 thousand likes, 4.8K comments on the thread and over 5.7K re-tweets, this thread officially became one of the most trending things on twitter 2 days ago and we are loving it!

Helping out the introverts, or even the extroverts with a low patience levels during boring calls, this has come across as a cure to those awkward silences that often come and stay longer than those unwanted relatives. Some might call these responses a little too out there, or cold as ice, or even plain rude, but if it makes a difference, the chances of all of them working out like a charm are higher than getting out of this lockdown situation anytime soon!
