    unknown phone # calls me. I don't answer. I google the phone # and find a cheap looking website where other people who looked up the phone number have come together to complain about it.

    I feel soooooooooooo old now.

    You can't be too considerate of your people. They are after all expendable.

    I have never understood why people don't answer numbers they don't know. Honestly. When I meet people who do that and I ask, they always look at me as if I'm mad... and that's it.

    I guess this is where you look at me as if I'm mad. Set your webcam up and let me know when you're ready?

    I get all kinds of bullshit calls from unrecognized numbers. It's quicker to ignore them and simply respond to the ones with compelling messages.

    It's because if I don't know they number, there's a high chance that it is someone trying to sell me something.

    If it's important and they really want to talk to me, they'll call back or leave a voice mail.

    Although, it does make more sense to just let it go to voicemail and call them back.

    90% of the time, it's a telemarketer.
    5% of the time, it's a wrong number.
    4% of the time, it's somebody from my past I don't want to talk to.
    The other 1% of the time, they can leave a voice mail.

    Sometimes it's a telemarketer - I just say no thanks and hang up. Doesn't bother me. I guess it's supposed to make me act like George Costanza?

    The rest of the time it's someone who wants to talk to me. Could be my best friend or my wife or whoever just calling from an unusual number.

    If I don't want to talk to them I hang up. It's more hassle to google a number or wonder if it was important than to talk to the human being and find out.

    in the day of "crap my cellphone died but I memorized a few numbers" I have been called from unknown numbers with startling frequency

    also i dont get telemarketers on my cellphone?

    if it is an unknown number, it is usually more important to me!

  • poshnialloposhniallo Registered User regular
    I also never get why people screen messages on their answerphone.

    I like talking to people. Even telemarketers and missionaries - at worst it's 20 seconds of fun while telling them to go away.

    Planters Peanuts changed their peanut jar. It use to be glass, now it's plastic. Salted peanuts use to say "Peanuts Lightly Salted" on the lable, while unsalted was "Dry Roasted". Now salted peanuts are "Dry Roasted" and unsalted is "Unsalted". When I found this out I started looking for an email address to complain. Then I realized how old that made me feel.

    Seriously, maybe it's a cultural thing - or an age thing. Talking to a stranger for 20 seconds and saying 'No thank you' is no problem whatsoever.

    The way you guys talk about it is really weird to me.
