The Art of Crumpling Paper


Here’s something I learned.

Is your number attracting a lot of negative vibes?

Negative vibes meaning annoying clients, bitchy girlfriends, and people you want to hide out because they are making you do ghastly favors?

When they ring your phone, answer it. They’ll rant or tell you something they think is appealing.

You get a piece of paper, shape it like a ball, and crumple it endlessly. Then feign that your phone is getting static noises, you’re in a tunnel, or the signal is breaking up.

Sure, this is lame but this actually works… but not all the time. I had a client call me a couple of hours later because I was eating out with my girl. While he thinks I am fine listening to his "situation" that only I could solve, I actually was pissed. I used the Crumpling Paper technique that bought me time to have a quiet dinner and the interval between that call and the next call lasted around two hours. Not much but not bad too.

If you need an excuse, a quick fix could be your under a lot of stress because you can’t talk now and you need to shit.

You are a man… it’s easy for you to act flatulent.
