I’d say I’m hovering around the 60% mark.

I don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t recognise, unless it identifies someone I’m expecting a call from with the “maybe” thing. I don’t use my phone for work (often). I don’t call people to catch up, I’d rather IM. My mother or my best friend call and I ignore them more often than I probably should.

But really I just don’t like talking on the phone that much.

Basically all of them.

A quick skim shows me that the only people who have called me this so far this year are:

  • Doctor
  • Dentist
  • Sister
  • Wife
  • Close friend

I expect that this would be much the same for last year too.

I have no reason not to speak to any of these.

Must be nice not getting like 2-8 spam calls daily (no, that is not an exaggeration)

I’ve had the same number for 24 years now. I have only ever had a handful of spam calls in total over that time.

I probably get one a month or so on my work number.

I’ve found if you accidentally take a spam call it can be fun to string them along and waste their time for a good 30m if you’ve got time to kill, the humour is great but it also gets you blacklisted for a while and they stop calling
