but I never answer my phone anyways.

Heheh...you think you're bad. I have caller id and an answering machine that are not connected since the last time I re-routed my phone line to the living room for the laptop. Neither one has been connected for over a month. All ringers are turned off.

Anyone who needs to get in touch with me can email me. It makes a ringing sound when I get an email and I answer it when I want.

I don't answer the door either, you know. If someone I don't know comes to the door, they can bang till they're blue in the face, I don't care.

That IS bad! I'm not quite to that stage...

I do have caller ID, and if someone I don't know / don't want to talk to calls, I let the machine take it. Most of the time if it's someone I don't know, it's a telemarketer anyway, and they don't bother leaving a message. Occasionally I stupidly pick it up, but most of the time it saves me.
