Dear Teachers,

1. "Stay out of my way" mean "stay away from me" and "don't stick your nose into my business", right?

2. I'm very busy right now so I don't want to answer anyone's phone.

- Is this natural?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

 Stevenukd.

1.  Right.
2.  Yes, it's natural, and you could also try

I'm very busy right now, so I don't want to answer any phones.

(In either case, it's somewhat rude if used as a response to a request to help answer phones.)
