Jokes on them, no one uses cell phones for calling people anymore.

Yea I never answer my phone because its always spam. Family will text first.

This is alright to a point but it's not always spam.

Like when you've applied for a rental property, or a job, or whatever. At that point the phone calls need to be answered.

Because it isn't always spam. I get calls about work regularly and my phone # is posted online and I get maybe 1 spam call a week. The rest are legit. In my business, we only call people when it's time sensitive, so if the phone rings it needs an answer.

It's just childish to ignore all phone calls. Especially from those in your contact list

Buckaroo, we all lead different lives.

I have to look out for calls from my doctor, and shit like that. But I probably didn't answer a phone call between the ages of 22 and 25.
