Have you ever pretended to be talking on your cell phone in order to avoid interacting with people around you? Is faking cell phone calls a common practice among cell phone users? A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center during April 26 - May 22, 2011, asked cell phone users about this issue and many others regarding the respondents' cell phone usage in the past 30 days. The survey involved selecting a random sample of 1,858 American cell phone users.
