 Staring at my phone until the caller gives up is my new favorite pastime.

 @46cd5609 I had to explain to someone yesterday that no, I almost never answer my phone, and these are the ways to get in touch with me.

When I was asked why, I just said 'I don't know about you, but I have no more interest in robocalls or telemarketing data.  Caller ID tells me if it's worth answering, but usually I just tell people when I'm going to call so they can pick up, or they do the same'

I could actually hear his eyes light up.
