Quick Tip: Radio Jam
This month is Get Off The Phone Month. The Donkey provides techniques for you to get off the phone quickly when your wife calls.
Many of us have wives who love to talk to us on the phone since we are busy all day. We get calls from them at work, at the store, at school, in the car, with our friends, in the middle of a movie, and the list goes on. I think we should generally entertain phone calls from our wives, but sometimes both you and the cell phone tower near your home need a break.
The I Can’t Turn The Radio Down method
This method should be utilized while in the car. When your wife calls you next, turn up the radio all the way and then answer the phone. You will just be able to hear her yelling to turn the radio down. After yelling “What?” a few times, explain that you can’t hear anything because the radio button is stuck. Tell her you will call her back if you can fix it. When you get home, act annoyed and tell your wife that your ears hurt because the radio was jammed all the way home. She will feel bad, and you can now capitalize on an intermittent radio problem that somehow only occurs when she is trying to call.
This method won’t work when you aren’t in your car, but you can pretend that your phone volume is turned way down and that you can’t hear. You are now covered no matter where you are.

I have made fake static noise with my mouth when I want to get off the phone. It has worked so far.

Why even answer? Couldn’t you claim your ringer was off or something?

what about those husbands that work from home and when the wife goes out they call her all.the.time. they want to know where you are, did you get anything to eat, and how much money did you spend. i am not speaking from personal experience at all. i have a friend whose husband does this.

This is kind of funny because I was tempted to ask some advice about what to do concerning cell phone calls.
Personally, I hate talking on the phone and I don’t mind an occasional chat with my husband but I hate holding the phone to my ear and the whole phone process just feels kinda skeevy for some reason.
Anyway, this month I guess I will definitely have to take some tips!
