About this design

Before ghosting was a thing, boomers perfected the art of simply not picking up the phone. This design celebrates the real original social distancers—the ones who've been screening calls since the rotary dial era. With a perfectly rendered vintage telephone and tongue-in-cheek humor, this tee speaks to every boomer who'd rather let the answering machine handle it. The retro aesthetic nails that 70s vibe while the double-punch punchline reminds everyone: boomers invented avoidance, they just didn't have a fancy millennial name for it. Wear it proud, answer it never.
