Caller ID...when you just don't want to answer..

I always check my caller ID, that's what it is there for. I have been receiving calls every day from some sort of debt collector. I have no idea what it is or who is it they are looking for. It actually gives you a toll free number to call and speak to someone. I think if it were valid a human would make the call instead of having a message telling you to call a toll free number. Sometimes like you, I do not want to be bothered at the moment. I will always accept calls from my family, but there are a few friends, that I do not want to talk to all of the time. My husband on the other hand, will grab the phone on the first ring, I am trying to see the number and he already is saying "hello". Sometimes he gets caught with calls he does not want to deal with because of his haste in picking up.

I only use a cell phone. If I see a number calling, and I do not know who it is, I will not answer. But I always look at it to see who is calling. If it's someone that I do not feel like talking to, or if I am busy, I just won't answer it. I don't use my cell phone nearly as much as I used to. Sometimes, I think I should get a phone to talk only on rare ocassions or emergencies.

Every call that comes in I check with my caller I.D. Sometimes you just don't feel like talking to certain people or telemarketers. Isn't that what it's for?
