Ha, yeah it was far easier for cowards to "dump by ignoring" before mobile phones. Or one used to have more plausible deniability if one just stopped answering their calls by instructing a parent/housemate to tell them one wasn't in/has decided to give homosexuality a bash/has joined the navy (although that's more or less the same thing)/has joined a cult (although again...)
