Nope. If it's important they'll call back or leave a message.
leave it...
no way...cause maybe it was a telemarketer....or someone I do NOT wanna talk to....
All of the above.
not no, but HELL no! I agree if it's important, they will call back. If it's not important, then they never should have called to begin with!
I don't call back just because I don't want to spend the money.
i don't call back.
No its a telemarketer.
Lately,111-111-1111 has been calling quite often.
Resort Check is another one that is always calling me.
And of course I have messages on my machine touting consolidating my debt(of which I have none) and lowering my mortgage rate(I dont hav ea mortgage either)
where is the poll at the top for this thread anyway? this topic is so missleading [img]tongue.gif[/img]
hense the "?", oj [img]tongue.gif[/img]
but back to the topic... there HAS to be times
when, especially with cell phones, someone calls
your number and you seriously don't know who
it is. telemarketers etc usually have a conspicuously
'hidden' number when calling phones with caller
ID... so usually a telemarketer is obvious.
however i never get telemarketers on my cell...
as for me... i think it depends on my mood.
i have been known to call an unknown number
back... if i feel feisty enough to take the
effort. otherwise... i don't care.
Well I don't get hardly any telemarketer calls at all anymore. Not since I registered at the "national do not call" website.
A few weeks ago, I had the bullshit call of the guy calling saying "it's Christmas time, would you like to donate to the American cop foundation" some kinda name bullshit like that. You know the one I'm talking about. The one where they tell you proceeds go to the families of cops killed in the line of duty. I THINK, these calls need to be considered telemarketer calls too and if you sign up like I did on the do not call list, these people should not be allowed to call you. It's all bullshit anyway.
Anyway back to the topic, calls like this always show up on my caller ID as either,
"unknown caller" OR
"out of Area"
I'm about to stop answering these calls all together when I see them on my caller id. That's also where my answering machine comes in handy. I LOVE screening my calls.
I am with you miss giggler.... yes if it says private number or unknown, you bet your sweet ass I do not answer... if talkin to me is that damn important then you will leave a message and I will call you back or answer the phone...if not.... then... bye bye
lol
<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">Just for that, I'm gonna go to a payphone and call you over and over and over again *LOL I'm gonna call you a thousand times til you pick up *LOLQuote:

And don't give me that, "You don't have enough quarters to call me that many times".

*hugs my "THAT WIQUED BITCH" *LOL
LMFAO!!!! You know what... your just that freakin crazy to do it too.....

[img]cool.gif[/img]
Yeah, I knew what you meant shatzy... you can tell when it's a marketing number or a regular number. I never call back, BUT... if I had a missed call from...
<font size="4" face="Tempus Sans ITC, Tahoma">...I would have to admit I would probably call it, just to experience the thrill of the dialling.Quote:

I think it looks desperate when people call back and no message was left...and it's always uncomfortable...like say I dial a wrong #...well more often than not I get some idiot calling me...I say, "Hello"...they go..."Who's this"...and I'm like..."Who's this motherfucker! You called me."...and they're like..."Yo man, I saw this number on my ID"...and then I challenge them to a fight with knives...
[img]rolleyes.gif[/img] wow...what a pleasant surprise....ek3 making a post at the acrop (well, necrop)...
and what a great post it was....sounds like something maddox would say
No wonder I never can get a hold of ya.
Take a chance pick up sometime. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
i have to agree with you, dj... i too was surprised
to see his post... and it was a good post as
usual.
i also agree with wes... i hate when someone
calls me and says 'who is this'... cuz that is
something that will piss me off instantly.
but i have called rogue numbers back before...
and my opening line is usually something like:
"i got a call from this number and i'm trying to
see who it was"
usually no one has a problem with it... and the
reason for this post was.... someone had called
me and didn't leave a message... but when i
called back... i gave the above line...
to which they had said that someone had called
them from this number... and it was basically
some backwards phone tag thing...
and in reality... he just misdialed the return call...
no biggie.. but it was interesting.
