What kind of a fawkin' nutjob doesn't answer the phone? I can see if you have call display, but to just NOT answer the phone?? That would drive me nuts.
I always answer the phone. If it's a telemarketer, I hang up on 'em or give 'em a blast of shit. It's as simple as that.

I always let the answering machine screen the call. No message left = prank or telemarketer. If it's somebody I want to talk to, I pick it up. Unless I'm expecting a call, I never pick it up as soon as it rings.

Yeah, I have an answering machine and call display. I hate that you're "handling your business" and the phone rings, totally kills the mood.

Fuck the damn phone.
With caller id, privacy manager and an answering machine I hardly EVER pick it up unless it's a friend or family member. Before privacy manager I'd get about six recorded ads A DAY. After: none. It rules.
Don't even get me started on cell phones... especially in the car.

Meh! Unlike you hermits, I ANSWER the phone....and yes, 50% of the time it is some young man doing telemarketing or some kind of census....But then, that's when you UNLEASH ZEE COUNTERSCRIPT!:
[url:72806]http://www.xs4all.nl/~egbg/counterscript.html[/url:72806]
I printed one out and put it by my phone...I've used it like 3 times, and it's fucking hilarious.
As for Cell-Phones...I used to think, "What the fuck? why would I need a cell-phone?"
No I can't live without one. It's mostly just serves address book purposes, but TXTing is an asset for making plans.

Yup, I do fail to see the reason for bringing them to school. Most schools down here have a rule - if the phone interupts class, it gets confiscated.
