Answering the call


I'm listening to music while surfing usually and right now this song is playing.

It says in one part: "I do not answer the call if I do not know who is calling" and it made me think about it. I always answer my phone, even if I don't know who is calling. Okay, if I'm avoiding someone I will not answer the phone, obviously, but in normal situations I will always answer my phone if I can (when not in the cinema, school and etc.)

Actually, at one point I "lost" $1000 by answering the phone the wrong way! A local radio station had sort of a contest going on for a while and they were calling random people. If you answered the phone with "I'm listening to <their name>" you would win $1000, if you answered your phone with anything else, you wouldn't get anything. I answered my phone with "Hello?"

Me too, unless they wake me up. In that case I despise them. Posted Image

What is someone is calling to tell you that you won something, or someone died and left you a million bucks? :P

I always answer the phone because it's always my mother, or if it comes up as private number it's always my freind so I just answer with his name.

The only time I hate to talk to people is when my family hires girls to talk to me... They think I have no social life... :angry:

^ lol wut what? xD
I don't answer calls from unregistered numbers either (by unregistered I mean not in my contacts). I don't even like answering calls from people I know.

PS: At first glance of the topic title I thought it had something to do with a bathroom.
