With everyone stuck at home because of the coronavirus pandemic, you've probably been talking on the phone with friends and family a lot more than usual.
In light of these times, comedian, actor, and writer Naomi Ekperigin, who goes by @Blacktress on Twitter, raised a very important question: How do we actually END phone conversations now that we're stuck at home?
