Hey, I totally get it - sometimes you're just not in the mood to chat. It happens to all of us! If you want to avoid small talk, there are a few things you can try.

First, you can give a friendly greeting and then quickly excuse yourself. Maybe say something like "Hey, good to see you! Sorry, I gotta run."

If that doesn't work, you can always say you're busy. Like, "I wish I could chat, but I've got a ton of stuff to do right now."

Another option is to change the subject. Maybe ask them about something interesting going on in their life, or mention something you're excited about.

And if all else fails, you can just be honest and tell them you're not really in the mood to talk right now. It might be a little awkward, but at least you'll be true to yourself!

Just remember to be respectful and kind in whatever approach you take. Good luck!

This isn't a phone thing, it's a car thing. Google your car model / year and how to turn off auto bluetooth playing. Some cares let you turn this off, some don't.

if you can't configure it to not play, you can get this track https://www.engadget.com/2017-08-10-silent-10-minute-song-itunes-car-stereo-trick.html -- it's a lame solution, but i guess it works.
