Push a button and "slam down" the phone | |
Slamming down an old timey headset could be satisfying, and that won't happen again until we develop just-in-time manufacture by nanomachines. Until then, this alternate hang-up button on your phone emulates the sound thereof, sending to the other party a loud plastickey-metallic "clack", a little more
clanking, and then a "busy" signal.

Your phone should have two buttons for ending the call. One is the normal 'end call' button and the other one also ends the call, and sends the other person a text message containing a 'slamming down the phone' emoji. |

Add a sprung cover to the button you have to push aside that automatically springs back over it, and a confirmation request from the phone, both belt and braces are the way to go here. |

Phone: I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you said. Please repeat the command
Me: I said Okay
person at other end: What are you Okaying about? Anyway it was you that started this argument. Do you remember the time when you...
Me: |

Phone: "Do you really want to do that, press "Y" (or your key of choice) for yes" .. with a case sensitive bit of code to avoid the Y then popping up on the screen or being transmitted anywhere when you tap it. |

But that's a lot less fun than your option so I'm going to have to go with your voice confirmation method as the definitively preferred option [poc]. |
