As someone who does not answer unknown numbers I am laughing and also cringing
If it’s important, they’ll leave a message. Otherwise it’s just another scam anyway
Hopefully you’re not applying for a job haha
Jokes on them I’m too lazy to set up my voice-mail
If I pick up, then they know its a real number and I get added to a hundred more lists. Its taken me years of diligently ignoring the world to get to the point where i only get a couple of spam calls a day. I might not answer, either.
I always answer, and I still only occasionally get spam calls. I wonder whether I’m just very lucky or if wasting their time consistently gets you put on lists of a different kind.
I wish people texted after failing to call me. I don’t answer calls from unknown numbers either but if you know me then text me so I know it’s not a spam number
I agree, but I still have this idea that it’s rude to text people unless you have gotten permission first. I think it’s a relic from the 2000s-2010s when not everyone’s phone had texting and if you did text them they could get charged by their phone provider. Obviously nowadays that’s much less of a concern, but still feels like a social grey area for some reason
That’s so funny. I feel like it’s rude to call without texting first
Lmao both of these sound ridiculous to me
My elder relatives trying to send a text:
Yeah, but then you’d get a text from that unknown number asking you to call them back without saying who they are, either 👌 Source: I know people.

If you don’t, the spammers win.
Should have sent an email, come on now…
“Help I’m dying please send rescue”.
Well that’s an odd email from January.

Lol “no. That’s too formal”
Simple solution : Always have the local search and rescue team in your contacts… Duuuh??
A lot of places call customers from some completely random numbers, not the official one. Very annoying.
I was joking actually, like totally joking… Saying the hiker or anyone should have had local search and rescue team in his contacts so when lost caller ID would identify them so he would answer and not ignore the call because of unknown number… Was a joke… But never mind 🤦
Yeah, the problem is i would have them in contacts listed under " rescue me!" And they’d call me from a number that’s not the one they gave me.
I would never have them in my contacts, I was just talking crap
Wait…is it real? Lol
Yeah, but it was a couple of years ago
This could be me lol
It is funny to be lost where you have cell service though.
