Response to Question 6: ?
I’m puzzled. How would I avoid looking at my wife’s phone record when I open the monthly statement? Both our calls are listed there.

Response to Question 1:
Why pretend? When a call needs to be terminated politely tell the caller that you will be ending the call within 10 seconds, say goodbye and then disconnect.

It may be easier or best to say that you have something else to do!

Response to Question 2:
Normally, I don’t lie about my age, accept when applying for a job; it’s necessary in this society.

Response to Question 4:
I would not report it if I witness a person shoplifting; who knows what that person may be going through. The only exception is if it were a person that I disliked, then I’d really, really report ‘em!
