Prank calls don't really exist anymore with caller ID and everyone sending unknown numbers to voicemail. (lemm.ee)

Because of my job I have to answer unknown numbers. My God is it ever irritating

Same here internet comrade. Gotta answer every call because my number gets passed around. At least my work pays my phone bill.

People get really upset that I don't check my phone often and keep it on do not disturb...

They can just keep on being upset. Their reaction kind of reinforces why I have the damn thing mostly disabled from its primary function anyway.
