Do you SCREEN your phone calls, or just pick up whenever the phone rings???

Contributor: Khanner Khanner
I don't always screen them. It depends on how annoyed I am at the moment if I want to see who an unknown number is.

Being my cellphone only displays the number if it's not someone in my contacts I screen. If they don't leave a message then it's either a wrong number/not important.

I have a cell phone and yes I screen. I have rings for certain people and when I hear them I answer. The rest I let go to voice mail.

I only have a cell and the only time I don't pick up is if I'm mad at my boyfriend or it's the Red Cross asking for blood. Vampires...

I've gotten to that point, since telemarketers call 3 or 4 times a day

Always. If I don't know the number, I don't answer and if they don't leave a message, I don't call them back nor answer when they call again.

We screen the calls that come in on the house phone, but answer the cell phones automatically. Pretty much everybody who matters calls the cells anyway.

Yes I screen mine especially if its not a number I know or if I receive unknown calls. Leave a message and I may or may not call you back.

I screen everyone. Sometimes, I just don't feel like talking.

I don't think people are becoming more anti-social. It seems that with cell phones, friends and family, or whoever, consider it their right to have instant access to you all the time. Before cell phones, if you weren't at home (not that the caller would know if you were) the caller would just have to deal with not being able to contact you at that moment. Leave a message. Now, if you don't pick up they wonder why you're dodging them...some get mad or hurt. "even if you're at work, you get a bathroom break...you could've picked up if you wanted to" O_o what?
