Answering the phone at home..

So, are you one of those people that don't like to pick up the phone and let the answering machine take your calls if you don't really feel like talking at the moment?

Absolutely. With the answering machine & caller ID, I screen all the time.

DH HATES that I do this.. He thinks I NEVER like to pick up the phone.. I get aggravated when he says this.. I' m like you know what sometimes I just don't feel like chatting on the phone when I get home from a long day from work.. no matter who it is.. even my own mother.

Re: Answering the phone at home..

dh NEVER answers the phone.
I usually do if I know who is on the other line via caller id.

Re: Answering the phone at home..

I do this often.

If I am not in the mood to talk - I don't pick up.

But I always pick up when it is my DH

I'll answer if it is my family, but if it is my ILs, I'll usually let the machine get it

WE don't have caller ID, therefore more than 90% of the time, I let the machine get it, unless I know its DH calling at his usual times.
