answering the phone
 

who here answers the telephone...under only extreme circumstances will i answer the telephone becuase 99 percent of the time its a fuckin telemarketer or a recorded ad

Yeah, my ringer is turned off.

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 always answer the phone, old you sound like a miserable old man with no friends..hehe sorry biggrin:
i ALWAYS answer the phone

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.

Caller ID. Typically someone else answers it, i hate fucking phones. Cell phones are the bane of my exsistance. SHUT UP AND DRIVE YOU DIP SHIT!... oh sorry... habit.

yeah I hate phones too, people live on the phone and its rather sad, i just let my other family members answer it and for some reason they get mad at me

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.

I made a sign and printed it off. I keep this in my glove compartment (well, I keep a bigger, printed version in my glove compartment):

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!:

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.

at school its like everyone has a cell phone its sad, it even goes off during class, i just wanna shoot them

Yeah a girl in my school has her damn cell phone and always in english class the phone always fukin goes off and she says its her mom WTF whos mom clals them during fukin school

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.

I have a cell phone. if anyone calls my house looking for me, I'm dead. (seriously, I told my parents to tell people that)

the only time i'll get a cell phone is if i am required to for my job, fuck that I dont want people to know where i am!

man you guys are kinda losers. a cell fone helps so much, ive stopped using my house line and just told everyone to call my cell, it has caller id so if i dont feel like talking to the person i just dont pick up. celfones own

1) It is illeagal to be using a cell phone while driving a vechile UNLESS it has an earpeice/handsfree device.

2) (In exactly 59 days) It's illeagal to use a cell phone in a movie theatre, show, exhibit, etc. (this means, dialing, listening, talking, etc.)

answering machine.

I never answer my phone, I just wait till someone else in my house picks it up and also I hate the ringer, it so ear peircing.

What you do, is you ask the telemarketer to marry you. They freak out and hang up. evil: (My cousin's done it)

Well I answered the phone one time. Of course I was off from school and this bitch from another school ask's if this is Kyle Smith and I was like yeah. So right then and there she starts bitching at my for telling AJ how my dad was gay and shit like that. She is like I thought better of you young man I want you to come right back to school and some other crap like that. I was like I don't go to that school and she asked which school I went to which I told her. She was like I am sorry sir but I must have got the wrong number please forget everything I told you. Does it look like I will ever forget a person calling my dad gay with out checking who it is.

Caller ID is the best. If I want to take the call, I do. I always answer telemarketers. If you dont answer, they just call back later. I either answer and let them start their pitch and hang up, or I just put the phone down in front of my speaker while running through clip after clip of ammo. You can also ask for their home number so you can call back when it is more convenient for you to talk. I have also let my 2 year old talk to them before.

Seinfeld biggrin: biggrin: biggrin: biggrin:

cell phone, pager, alpha pager ,desk phone and home phone. I NEED ALL OF THEM!!!! Its how business gets done without the phone Id be sunk!!! Too many electronic tethers but I need em.

Whats an alpha pager?

it receives both alpha and numeric pages. Alpha meaning you can type up to 250 letters into it and it will apear on your pager as a writen message

Thats cool! i want one biggrin:

They're like 20 bucks a month. And the pagers like 80. You're better off just getting a damn phone.
