      Jerry: “Aren’t you going to see what the message is?”

      George: “Nah.”

      Kramer: “Why not? It could be important!”

      Jerry: “It’s not like you to ignore a message…”

      George: “Okay, okay! I’ll tell you. I was sitting at home.”

      Jerry: “Doing what?”

      George: “Nothing.”

      Kramer: “Oh yeah! I love doing nothing! I love it!”

      Jerry: “Nothing? Sounds boring.”

      George: “Spoken like an amateur. I have it down to an art.”

      Kramer: “We should compare notes!”

      Jerry: “Anyway, then what happened?”

      George: “I get a text from this girl I had lunch with.”

      Jerry: “Lunch? Like a date? A” lunch date?"

      George: “I don’t know, I don’t know! How can you know? Who suggests lunch when someone asks them out? I don’t know, but she did!”

      Kramer: “Yikes!”

      Jerry: “Okay, so you get this text message.”

      George: “That’s right.”

      Jerry: “From the lunch maybe date maybe not woman.”

      George: “That’s right.”

      Jerry: “What does it say?”

      George: “What are you doing?”

      Jerry: “I’m asking what the message said!”

      George: “I know! The message said, ‘What are you doing?’”

      Jerry: “Ooooo. Okay. And?”

      George: “So I sent her a reply, that said ‘nothing’.”

      Kramer: “Classic mistake.”

      George: “Well I wish I had known! How am I supposed to know?!”

      Jerry: “I don’t get it. What’s the mistake?”

      George: “After I told her that I wasn’t doing anything, she called me!”

      Jerry: “On the phone? What for?”

      George: “To talk!”

      Jerry: “About what?”

      George: “Nothing! I wanted to do nothing, not talk about nothing!”

      Kramer: “You got yourself a phone talker.”

      George: “A phone talker!”

      Jerry: “Seems like it. So what are you going to do?”

      George: “What can I do? I’m going to have to tell her talking on the phone causes me migraines. It’s the only way…”

      Kramer and George leave. Jerry sees a message from Elaine that says, “What are you doing?” He puts the phone down.

      One of the few actual good usages of ChatGPT

      How about calling them “Phone Trappers”?

      It sounds like something Jerry would say: “You know these people, the Phone Trappers. They ask you what you’re doing, and the second you say you’re free—bam!—they trap you into a call. It’s a trap! They lure you in with a text, then they pounce with the phone.”
