I do not answer the phone for anyone I do not know. Even some I know I make leave a voice mail.

I’m the same way, I never answer my land line and If they call my cell and I don’t recognize the number I don’t answer.

”I do not answer the phone for anyone I do not know. Even some I know I make leave a voice mail.”

Same here. A lot of older people grew up in a time when it was common courtesy to always pick up the phone. I’m not as old as the lady in the story, but I have no such scruples. I hate talking on the phone anyway, and 98% of the calls are sales and scam calls.
