I don't answer my home phone unless I recognize the number. Not even then, sometimes. I just let the answering machine click on.
Our answering machine makes it quite clear who lives here:
"Please leave a message for Tiffany or Scott after the tone."
Tell me why we repeatedly get idiots leaving messages for people other than Tiffany or Scott? Once time, this woman called three times leaving messages demanding that her daughter come home from whoever's house she was at. Scott picked up the fourth time and told her she had the wrong number. Some kid got their arse beat that night for giving out a bad number, for sure.
Today, some lady calls and says: "This is a message for APS. This is XXX and XXX. We have installed a new security system and will no longer be using your services. Thank you."
Um....I was tempted to call her back and tell her that she's going to be incurring another month's charge because, like the answering machine said, this ain't APS. But I didn't. People need to stop going on autopilot when they're dialing phone numbers.
Edited to add: did a google search on the caller ID name. This chick's a lawyer? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
