If the caller ID shows as unknown, then I never answer it.

Hell, I don't answer it even when it's a valid name/number since it's always for my wife... :D

And they don't call back.

How long before you just forget the incident?

Damn she figured me....I mean whom would do that?

Unless it's a local number, I don't answer. If it's important, they can leave a message, if they don't, I assume it wasn't worth my answering. If I'm at my PC I'll Google the number and go from there.


Wow, I'm a bit of a geek, huh? :p
Now if only my phone could display the Google results along with the caller ID info...

I never pick up the phone anymore without checking the caller ID. Now cell phones are a different story. They ring around here and everybody is scrambling trying to find where they left it.

someone just called my cell phone
it displayed "private number"
i am at work, so i thought it might be business related, so i answered
they hung up without saying anything

i figured, since my name is in my profile, someone in this thread is messing with me, they looked up my number on the intraweb

Loke broke into your house and kidnapped you so he could get access to your ATOT account, but you're up for the torture (kinky mosh) and won't give in. So if he can't logon as you, you can't logon as you and then, we have no mosh instead of lomoshke or someother abomination like that.

I mean... uhh, are you sure you say yes and not something like

"You'll have to speak up, I'm wearing a towel"
"This is Mosh! WHO ARE YOU?"
or
"NO"

If I ever did go through with the plan that I've been working on for a couple years, you'd notice less Loke and Mosh, and more Moshke's in about 9 months. Give or take.
:ninja;!!
