i do this.
say you see someone you don't want to talk to, a neighbor for instance, so you open your phone and put it up to your ear and have a pretend convo. is this a normal form of avoidance or am i a GENIUS? |

You turn the ringer off first. Yes, I've done this too.

I do it ALL the time, especially if I'm at the mall or I go into a store (say, shoe store for example) where they like to fucking NAG the shit out of you
to make a purchase. I put the phone on silent and fucking hold it up to my ear. They never approach you.

I do that too.
HINT: on some phones, if you press and hold the pound key (number sign), it will put your phone on vibrate, so it wont ring while you're pretending to talk. |

When I first got my cellular phone, in 1991, I did this frequently, so that everyone could see that I possessed a cellular phone.

It's much better than trying to pretend you didn't see someone, because you can do that half-assed wave/head nod/exasperated thing like you'd
really love to chat, but goddamned people won't leave you alone.

I set my phone on vibrate before a meeting, then pretend that it vibrated in my pocket and take it and walk out of the room with my fake convo. It's the
best way to get out of long boring meetings.

I mostly use this tactic when people are trying to do petitioning, voter registration, or begging. Other than that, I like just about everyone I know, so it's nice to run into them every now and again. |

Yes - I've done this before to avoid talking to creepy neighbors.

I find that if I say "I am done talking to you now" and I walk away it works wonders. |

Back in 1983 when I got my first cell phone, I would take it out of my pocket and fake talk all the time!
