2. Avoiding Suspicious Phone Calls
I am a serial not-answer-my-phone-er. If I don't have your phone number stored in my contacts, then I'm screening your call and, if it's important enough, you will leave a message and I will call you back. Hollywood has wised up with the times, to an extent, by having eerie phone calls come from their hero/heroine's best friend's phone, who they don't know are already dead somewhere. However, they still use home phones that do not have caller IDs. I wasn't aware that they make phones without caller IDs nowadays, unless they are novelty phones (like the Burger phone from Juno, which I dream of owning one day). It isn't that hard to avoid phone calls, especially from people you aren't expecting to call you, you know, like strangers. I answer phones the way I answer doors - if I can't, without a doubt, recognize you as someone important in my life, have fun waiting for me to never answer you.
