As far as acceptable social props go, the cell phone definitely rules. If you're alone in a restaurant, waiting for friends or just commited some sort of faux pas, what better way to divert attention from your short-comings, than to pretend to be the brief custodian of some crucial bit of information than someone is dying to receive. Perhaps you can relate enough to join the group. In the basic description, over forty examples of such situations are listed with a request for group members to send in more of their own. While there are not that many threads on the discussion board, 'Ever got caught pretending to text? awkward!!' and 'Not only text messages, but noneexistent phone calls as well!' say it all. There is a thread requesting 'texting buddies ;D', as do a number of wall posts.
What's great about this group: It comes clean about a phenomenon of our times.
