White Lies while using the Mobile Phones
Most of us would tell white lies while using the mobile. To a question "Did I disturb you?" you may mostly say NO just to avoid hurting your friend and keep wondering when he will end the call! You may say 'he is not around' when someone asks if your brother is around and to give him the phone, after getting a silent signal from your brother to avoid calling him. When some friend complains that your son is not picking up the phone, you may say: 'Is that so? he forgot the mobile while going out.'
If you want to discontinue the conversation sooner you may say it is noisy and the voice is breaking and suggest we talk later in the day. You might increase the TV Volume to signify noisy background on your side and opt to move out to some other spot, often saying: 'Signal not clear' etc. You may do this even to avoid being overheard by somebody nearby.
Sometimes the caller may be overwhelmingly bossy and upon suspecting a white lie he may ask you to come on a video call! Ten you are caught. You may say that the Internet is weak and then disconnect your mobile! At times you may say "I am out of my house / office shopping, will do that when I reach home" to avoid doing something immediately.
White lies are useful to avoid temporary hardship / inconveniences and are not very harmful. Is there an App that will detect lies when uttered by others from their voice changes and caution you? How popular will that be? Will you pay for it? How about such Apps working against you? Can you come up with a set of universal white lies that might work in most situations?
Questions and questions galore but no answers!
