usually don't. DH will answer his cell in the middle of a resturaunt if it's from his mom or sister though Chat Icon Once left me sitting for like 10 minutes while he helped his sister pick out a DVD player for her BF over the phone.

Re: do you answer the phone during dinner?

No - I let it ring. Dinner is an unwinding part of my day, I don't like interruptions.
If it's important they'll call back or leave a message.

I answer the phone to tell them we're eating dinner and will call them back. If it's an emergency, obviously that trumps eating.

Re: do you answer the phone during dinner?

It depends who it is. I always check the caller id...if it's someone I really want to speak to at the moment, my dinner can wait.

Re: do you answer the phone during dinner?

i do, but i won't stay on the line. it used to drive me insane when i lived at my parents house, my mom's family would call up everynight during dinner and insist on talking to either my mom or dad. I always thought it was so rude, even though it was just us.

Re: do you answer the phone during dinner?

Nope - we let the answering machine pick it up, unless there is something important going on in our lives (i.e. - illness in the family)

Yes, it doesn't matter what meal we are eating.

But we don't always..there is no rule about it, it just depends.

Re: do you answer the phone during dinner?

I will if it is a long distance call, since the time change issue makes it difficult to reach people.

Otherwise no, unless I heard a panicked message on the machine.

Re: do you answer the phone during dinner?

I check the caller ID first, then decide whether to answer.

Gotta love caller ID!

I used to but DH hates if I do. It's usually someone from my "other job" and those calls can go on forever. Now I let it go to the machine and call them back.

Re: do you answer the phone during dinner?

I never did and hated when people would, but since my brother has been sick I always answer because it could be important.

No, they can leave a message. We're basically screeners anyway.

I have caller ID so it depends on who it is. If we have guest over, then no.
