Caller display is my saviour. I never answer Int'l, withheld, or unavailable numbers.

don't bother me if they are withheld or not to be honest

you don't know who's on the other end of your house phone but you answer that why's a mobile different?

Honestly it depends on my mood or how busy they are. Sometimes I ignore other times I love to have a bit of fun with them using strange accents and dialects to confuse the fuck out of them for my own entertainment.

I hardly ever answer my phone anyway. It's always on silent. If It's important they'll leave a message or text me.

If I answer an unsolicited call, which isn't often I use one or two different ploys...

If its a company that has details about me I ask them where they got said details. Cutting the story short, typically it ends up with me demanding names and addresses to pass onto the police under the heading of identity theft, breach of privacy, fraud etc. ... you get the idea, do they ever squirm PMSL Not actually funny, often the calling company has got your detail from a database stolen from a company you do deal with!

The other game is, play deaf, "Sorry can you repeat that please... hello... what... mum you sound strange... hello... yes I'd like to make an appointment with Dr Griffin...

If its a company calling to try and sell me some shite or answer a survey i usually have to nip to answer the door- then sit waiting to see how much of their time and phone bill is wasted until they give up and hang up- usually never call back

I got one a few years ago, obviously a wrong number as the last line said say hi to your mum for me (I lost my mum when I was twelve). I replied sorry wrong number as only way I could say hi to my mum is through a medium. Well I thought it was funny anyway lol xx

I never, ever answer them - even when it was the CSA! I heard a guy talking about this on the radio years ago when it was in it's infancy and he said the one thing that has made the most sense....

"If you haven't got anything to hide, why hide your number...?????"

And I don't answer 0800, 0845, 0844 or any of them - they are all owned by commercial organisations and I'LL decide if I want to speak to them.....and call them....

My home no is withheld and I will only answer blocked/withheld on my mobile as that way I know it will be someone I have given my no to.

House phone is a bit of a waste of space as my logic is anyone needing to get hold of me knows my mobile no!

I got caller display on the house phone so ignore international calls but I still answer withheld numbers only because when the hospital ring me it's on a withheld number and the call could be to tell they found a suitable kidney, I've been waiting a long time and would be really pissed if I missed out.

"I never answer calls. I did answer a random unknown text tonight though.

Many years ago I answered my house phone to what turned out to be a wrong number. The mature female voice on the other end, purely by chance the person she 'thought' she was calling was her son and happened to have the same name as me (what's the chances of that?!?!) anyway the conversation went like this...

"Hi David"

'Hello'

"How are you?"

'I'm fine thanks, just got in from work.'

"You'll be looking forward to your dinner then. How are the kids, can I speak to them?"

(This sparks my 'who the hell is this)

'No you can't speak to the kids, they're in bed at this time. Who are you?'

"Ha ha, didn;t you recognise my voice! It's your mother!"

So I said...

'I'm sorry! But no wonder I didn't recognise your voice... you've been dead for 15 years!'

"OH... OH my god! Oh dear! OH... so that's not 1234567?"

'No, its 1234568'

Click... brrrrrrrrrrr

I always answer them because in my work sometimes offices that offer you work block their number. So I never know who may be calling me!
