    Businesses show up on my caller ID. If I’m expecting a call from them I’ll answer.

    Otherwise, if it’s really so important, they can text, email me, or send me snail mail. If they don’t, obviously they don’t care that much and it’s not my job to make myself contactable by randos over the phone.

    I get 10+ spam calls a day and half of them leave voicemails. No fucking way am I going to waste my valuable free time dealing with that. You wanna cut through the noise? Find another way.

        Uh almost all of them?

        The real problem is that Caller ID can be spoofed to be literally any number by anyone for any reason. So you have zero guarantee you’re talking to Chase or some ਕੁੱਤੀ ਦਾ ਬੱਚਾ in India
