I bought a new phone recently and as I was reading through the manual (NNNERD!) I discovered that my new phone is equipped with a “fake call” feature. You can schedule a time you want your phone to ring “when you want to get out of meetings or unwanted conversations”. You can even use a recording with the fake call feature to make it sound like you’re talking to someone. Is it really so hard to just be straight with people that we go to such lengths to keep up false appearances ? Should dishonesty and duplicity really be seen as a feature to come pre-installed in our technology and not as a bug in the human condition?
Honesty Anyone?

Fair Point John, but seriously- how many time do you wish you could get away from that mentaler on the dart sitting beside you!?

People never sit beside me on the dart.
Seriously though, there are ways of dealing with awkward situations without resorting to dishonesty right?
“Mentaler” is quite a subjective term too. What sort of situation do you have in mind?
