If someone calls you with a private number do you pick it up always, some times, or never just out of curiousity other friends never pick it up… edit: or god at least leave a fucking voicemail… its getting redic… i get like 2 or 3 a day ---

I never do…I dont give out my cell number to anyone but friends so its some crap, if its important they’ll leave a message I hate it too because my number is stupid…716-316-\*\*16…and people and their fat fingers miss dial to me all the time, I swear I must average 2 calls a day from out of state, some leave messages looking for someone, at one point someone called me at 2am and woke me looking for ray-ray, so I told her I had some terrible news and that she should sit down, then hung up, no more calls from that number! 🙂 ---

i never do, not even numbers i dont recognize. if its someone important they leave a message. although there is some guy with the SAME cell number as me that ownes a farm, must have a different area code…i get calls asking for “marty” all the damn time like once a week, and once i answered “hello” and some lady goes “yeah i talked to you yesterday at the farmers market, you said you could get me some rhubarb?” ---

I actually know someone who’s call always comes up private. She doesn’t call often, so I tend to take the if-its-important-then-they’ll-leave-a-voicemail approach unless I’m expecting a call. ---
