I am so guilty
Communifaking. I think everyone I know, except maybe my parents, has done this before. Don’t know what it is? Let me fill you in. Have you ever been somwhere, maybe the mall or an airport, maybe you see somebody you know or you want to look busy? So… what do you do? You get out your cell phone and pretend to make a phone call or text, pretty much you just want look like you’re doing something. I am definitely a guilty party to this. I use to absolutely love going to the mall by myself, shopping alone is very productive. I didn’t want to look lame though, so I would try and talk on the phone almost the whole time. Sometimes I couldn’t get anyone on the phone though, so I would seriously just pretend like I was on the phone or I would start texting people. I know I am not the only one who does this either!!! According to ABC News, 74% of people between the ages of 18-24 admit to communifaking.
Have a funny communifaking story? Share!

I thought I was the only one on this planet that was guilty of pretending to be busy.
Its cool to see other girls are into that too. Maybe it’s just a girl thing

One of my favorite Communifactions is I get a suppoeed call from one of my subordinates and I greet her happily and in the silence she tells me that somebody did something bad. I say, “He did WHAT? Tell him he’s fired!” And I procede to get looks for nearby people.

Well i do worse than Communifaking.. I always have my headphones on with real loud music, mean face and guns in my eyes. Moreover only see shapes cause i never wear my glasses.. Once a girl touched my shoulder (didnt hear her) and ask me 4 a cigarette (i know i shouldn’t smoke!) : i replied “NOOO and don’t touch me !”
When i’m in my world, lost in my thoughts, i guess i don’t like to be bother..
Some often say i’m ‘Antisocial’ (french word maybe the same in english or unsocial..). I don’t think so, i just need a computer to be social and kinder;)
