If I don’t recognize your number I’m not answering the phone. Unless, I specifically am waiting for a call, like from an archaic doctor’s office, or to get a verification of something. That is the only circumstance I will answer a unknown number from.

Even then, I use a voice answering service, that asks the person to identify themselves, and then I am told who is calling. So if that’s not filled in I still don’t answer.

Then, if they get to voicemail, and they don’t leave a voicemail message, they’re obviously spam… And I’m vindicated by not answering the phone

90% - If I recognize your phone number, I will answer the call if I’m not in a meeting. If you call multiple times in a row, I will leave the meeting to answer your call. But it better be an emergency or we’re going to have some feedback to go over…

Also, the people who call multiple times instead of texting and then calling, really really really really really need to stop doing that. If it’s an emergency call, text, call again. Because of the call I’m going to pay attention to what the text message says. So I can see oh it’s a f****** emergency. If you’re the kind of person who leaves a voicemail message, or text message, that just says call me back as soon as you can. F*** you. Learn how to communicate

100% during work, 50% offwork depend on who they are. Tbh i wish i could not answer any phone call except friends and families.

Basically all of them.

A quick skim shows me that the only people who have called me this so far this year are:

• Doctor
• Dentist
• Sister
• Wife
• Close friend

I expect that this would be much the same for last year too.

I have no reason not to speak to any of these.

Close to 100% for known contacts.

Very close to 0% for unknown numbers.

I have an app that blocks scam/spam so irl I answer 100% but technically I only pickup 50%
