5. I hate the phone
I never answer it.
Hmmm. One wonders why the grey washrag primitive doesn't like the telephone.
No, on second thought, one doesn't.

7. Considering that I own a business, it's vital. NOBODY gets to talk to me unless they identify themselves via Caller ID; "Out of Area" is always a sign that it's some schmuck trying to sell me something.
And if I don't answer the phone, and they don't leave a message, screw 'em; they're not someone I want to talk to.
Hmmm. One suspects they're not ALL trying to sell Chief S itting Bull, the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive something; some of them might be calling for a wholly different reason.
The lunatic primitive answers the real reason most primitives screen their calls:

Because I may have to in order to stave off homelessness.

i hate talking on the phone, and most people calling me on the phone just want something from me
Probably they want a check or money order.

It's a backhanded slap in the face to them. They're too stoopid (deliberate misspelling) to realize it.

I'm a small business owner and we answer every call.....just in case it might be a potential customer. I have seen fellow business owners as they go under not answer the phone because it's a supplier asking for money, the state wanting their sales tax, etc.
Sitting bull is full of bull.

S itting bull is full of bull.
Yeah, the "h" key on the keyboard sometimes skips, but it's too much trouble to go back and fix it, so I let it be.

nobody gets to talk to Chief S itting Bull
Not like anyone actually WANTS to, of course...
:evillaugh:

Probably they want a check or money order.
Or to let her know the results of a test for STD's.

S itting Bull screening his business calls is very stupid. If it is a supplier trying to get paid, and enough of that trouble is going on, he will cease to have a supplier. Maybe if he's nice, he can get his goods COD (and not a check either, green stuff). BUT, they never think things through, do they? Similar to the credit default thread.
