Since I had caller ID installed, I very rarely answer my house phone. Most important people call my cellphone anyway.

it's actually a very peaceful, painless way to go when you're that far gone already.

That's good to know. Thanks.

My husband is Caller ID's number one fan, but I *have* to answer a ringing phone. Even if I know it's the same telemarketer who called five minutes ago.

I totally screen the phone and visitors at the door (that is, ignore), because the people who call me can be numbered on the fingers of one hand (everything else is spam), and my building has security, so no one should be knocking that I'm not expecting.

I find a ringing phone almost impossible to not answer.

I always ignore my phone. I don't have caller ID, but I do have an answering maching. My friends know to start talking. If I'm in the mood to chat, I pick up. If not, I don't.

I do have a peephole, but it was made for tall people. It's too high for me to look through.

I do answer the phone , most of the time. But if I am running out the door, or my hands are full, I don't. Siince I should be leaveing this minute, I wouldn't .

Basically my slave to the phone comment was meant to be followed up with my stating that I mean I will not rush in the door because the phone is ringing. If I can reach a phone, and feel like answering it, I will. if not, I have a machine that does it for me after four rings.

My mom had a special ring code - let it ring once, hang up, call back in 30 seconds - that meant "no, seriously, I need you to pick up the damn phone."

My sister, OTOH, had to go to the hospital and get stitches in her lip once because she took a corner too fast racing to pick up the phone.

We're not much alike, really.

I don't answer the phone unless I know who it is or was expecting a call. I am very happy to have caller ID.

Previously on Death of the DVR, Kara spit on it, it stopped working. It started working. Aidan pushed a button. It stopped working. It started working. It stopped working.

In today's episode, I broke down and called the cable company and asked them how much it would cost to have someone out to fix it. Since the power button won't even come on now, they aren't going to fix it, they're going to replace it. For free. I asked him if he heard me say my daughter spit the contents of her sippy cup into it. He said yes. Free. Within the next half hour to 45 minutes. I'm flabbergasted. I will never say bad things about my cable company again.

I always ignore my phone. I don't have caller ID, but I do have an answering maching.

My gf does this. When I'm over, she frequently feel that the one person she wants to talk to is there. It makes me laugh.
