Stop. Picking. Up. Unknown. Numbers.

Terrible mistake to answer calls from people you don't know.

You'll only get more spam calls because they know you'll answer. Either don't answer or pick up and scream into the phone until they hang up, that way they'll know they shouldn't call you again.

Reasons why you never pick up these calls:

  • Anyone who you will care to talk to will simply leave a voice message if its important or they know you.

  • They'll text you instead (unless they're still living in the 80s and don't have a smartphone or aren't calling you with one)

  • You would already have them on your contacts if they're someone important.

It is very very very very very rare that someone with a number you don't recognize needs to talk to you. So stop picking them up. Please.

Yeah this is why I hate phones. We own a house phone and I'm getting rid of that fucking thing pretty soon we got several phone calls a day yesterday and a few today. Hearing a phone ring is starting to turn into a trigger for me.

Telemarketers are the worst and if you pick up most of the time they'll use your voice for some other shit. Its bullshit. Fuck phones and fuck the phone companies who allow it.
