Don't you hate when someone calls you, says your name, and you reply, "yes" and then hangs up? Then their number isn't identifiable so you can't call back. :(
And they don't call back.

How long before you just forget the incident?

It is kinda unsettling, but maybe the person's phone went dead, and he'll... get back to me.

Unless I'm expecting a call from someone whose number I don't know, I don't answer my phone if I don't recognize the number. If it's important, they'll leave a message and I'll call back as soon as I check my messages.

lol. did they address you as mosh or your real name (which i don't know anyway)?

it could be someone checking up on you to verify if you are at that address and phone number. make sure you lock your doors and be careful

Nope. If I don't know who it is, it's not getting answered. Probably won't answer if I do know who it is either. Either phones have gotten more annoying as I've aged or I'm turning into a crusty old man.

I won't answer an unknown number unless I'm expecting an important call from a business/institution.

most times i dont answer a number if i dont know it or its blocked. but if i do, i answer it with a faux british accent. its unexpected and puts the pressure on the caller.

They're trying to find out if you're home or not so they can break into your house.

Not to freak you out or anything...
