I am not married, but I was searching the forums on TERB and I came across this gem from the TERB poster "I_Am_The_Man", in a thread called "An Incredible New Strategy For Hiding the Hobbying From the Wife" (or something like that):
"I think this strategy is worthy of a separate post.
This method will allow you to appear to be in one place when you are really in another and it saved my ass today.
You need to get call privacy. Come up with a good reason why you need it. Like, it will prevent all those telemarketers from bugging you.
Now, if you ever call your house blocked with *67 you will be told that you need to either a) press pound to unblock your number or b) press * and dial in the number you are calling from. Here is the neat thing… YOU CAN DIAL IN ANY NUMBER!!!!
Today I told my wife I was at work. She didn’t believe me and after calling my work number and not getting an answer she promptly called my cell and left a message demanding to know where I was. I simply called back with*67 and then typed * and typed in my office number. While on the DVP to see Pia, I appeared to be calling from my office. She was happy and I was happy."
