Why Haven’t You Texted Me Back?

“Why haven’t you texted me back” Me:

A worried man stares at the camera while, beside him, a power tool drills and works intensely on a piece of metal. The joke is that instead of replying to a text, “I” am absurdly occupied with loud, laborious handiwork; the escalating tool noises make the excuse increasingly ridiculous. It works as a reaction to ignoring someone’s messages or taking an absurdly long time to respond.
