When your phone rings..

What do you do?

I normally ignore it even if I know who it is. I don't forward them to voice mail because sometimes you can tell when they do that.

So.. What would you do? Pretend you know who is calling.

Cell phone, work phone, landline, payphone. Anything.

Pick up then hang up. 2
Forward to voice mail 5

    I answer it immediately, because my phone rarely rings and when it does, it scares the shit out of me!

  • Bit of both. If it's anyone but my bf I usually let it go. I have a fear of talking to other people any way. If it's unknown though I answer it out of intrigue and then if I don't like them I hang up.

    I typically ignore it. I don't like talking on the phone too much anymore.

    I pick it up in like a split-second sometimes it hasn't even started making the sound yet, after like the first vibration its already in my hand next to the ear.

    Normally I'm not checking my phone. Not much of a cell phone person. So normally it's in my room or on the counter vibrating and I either don't hear it or I do and I don't bother to go get it.

    When I do have it and I know them I forward to voicemail then text them. When I don't, just answer and hang up/let it ring. Sometimes I answer and listen for the voice and if it's a recording or someone I don't know I hang up. Idk depends I guess.

    I have caller ID, and I hate when the telemarketers call. Them I just ignore.

    I look at the caller ID. If it is unavailable or unfamiliar I let them leave a message and then check voice mail almost immediately after.

    it depends if i'm in social mode or work or downtime. its not always appropriate to have the phone on so i usually keep mine off until i need to be available. the rest of the time its only on, when i need to make a call

    Depends on who it is, most of the time I silence it cuz I know it's someone asking for a favor or using me to kill their boredom.

    i always check the caller i.d. before i answer.
    if it's someone i know and don't mind talking to, i'll answer. if it's someone i don't like, i'll just ignore it.
