Well… you do. I don’t accept any call from a number that I don’t recognize, or isn’t in my list of contacts. Not anymore.
I know that behavior is cutting me off from a chunk of humanity that would like my attention and aren’t looking to take advantage of me, but I’m really fine with that.
Yeah. That. Back when I was a kid, the phones were dumb as hell, but most of the time – from my experience at least – if they rang it was from someone actually wanting to talk with you, not sell something to you, or trick you.
Now? If I were answering calls from numbers I didn’t trust, the ration would be something like 80 predatory/sales calls to 1 actual person I would want to speak with,
Bah. (old man grumble)
