Can't believe you guys are such hard a$$es and yet your afraid to pick up a phone.

I pick up the phone unconditionally for friends and family, assuming I reach it in time. Numbers I don't recognize go to voicemail and mostly no message is left. I do a Google search of all the numbers I don't answer. 99% belong to telemarketing firms. The other 1% belongs to a deadbeat high school friend who calls twice a year to beg for money.
I don't have a land line. I only have a cell phone. I also don't answer the phone when I am talking to someone else. Whoever is physically in front of me has my undivided attention, be it a cashier at a store, the girl that cuts my hair, or my wife. I don't "screen" calls in that situation, I don't even look at my phone and turn off the ringer.
