1. I keep my answering machine off until 9:30.

The ringers are always off. So I hear nothing untilI turn the answering machine on. Then I only answer if they identify themselves to the machine. Easy peasy

2. Were you afraid you'd miss a car warranty offer whilst you were hanging up on the insurance people?

They'll keep calling back, I promise.

9. 😅 yah, guess so. Just different they know my name AND it's not a recorded message.

4. I don't answer calls from unknown numbers. If it is important enough they will leave a

message, and it is quite easy to delete messages I consider spam

6. Same here. I got email, text, snail mail I'm not that hard to get a hold of, voicemail

Never answer the phone unless I know who it is. Thank goodness I don’t have to anymore since I’m retired

5. I got one and told the caller I'd

have to ask my Retirement Benefit Rep from my Union before I make any changes. CLICK, didn't even say good bye.

7. Hey, thanks, will try that now.......

It’s just weird they know my name………

10. There is a data base that marketing people use

that list name and address along with age. That's how I get all of these hearing aid letters, being over 70. I think they can purchase them somewhere.

I like the calls. Because they called you, you can say about anything you want to them and not get into trouble. Just don't threaten them with violence. I like to ask just one question first, what color underwear do you on. If I don't know who the caller is from my caller ID, I sometimes just answer the phone "Detective Cracker, what'd have for me".

It's one of my retirement hobbies.
