Y U call my house 10 times last night from an unknown number, but refuse to leave a fuckin’ message? I don’t care if you call so many times your fuckin’ finger falls off, I ain’t answering, dipshit. Let me enlighten you on the code of phone etiquette since it appears you were born without any, like an entitled asshole. 1. Call once. 2. Leave message. 3. fuck off. —Up yours

maybe it was the lottery corp wanting to tell you about a big win. they wouldn’t leave a message.
The odd mix of writing styles, grammar and vocabulary… it’s like three people teamed up to write it…
And none knew of the call block system?!
But OB, you may have missed out on a Cruise…….
When I used to call cabs to people’s places at ungodly hours of the night or prank call a christen talk phone line… well I straight up did it for my own twisted sense of teenage enjoyment. It’s not that they don’t have any phone etiquette, it’s that they want to laugh at you being pissed off at getting the phone call. Hell man, they got you so worked up that you went and raged on the internet! If they read this section, they now know that their dastardly plan is working!!
OB, unknown number calls are usually from automated phone spam centres. There is nobody using their finger to dial you. A computer keeps dialling numbers from the directory – or maybe even randomly to find unpublished numbers such as cell phones.
If nobody answers it disconnects. If someone picks up the computer transfers them to a sales person – if one is available at the time. If no sales person is free the line usually goes silent after you pick up.
When I see unknown number on the call display I never pick up. Eventually, the computer will probably mark you as an unlikely target and stop calling or at least call less frequently.
Hope this helps.
same here, I think I use my phone as an actual phone less than once a month.
Usually happy b-days to elders who cant text for the life of them.
I actually kinda wish my phone wasn’t really a phone at all.
^^^ zed would you rather it was a teleporter?
I would be happy if mine churned out cheeseburgers
Answer the next call with ‘City Morgue’.
I wish it was a time machine….
I’d go back to last thursday night so I could pay my phone bill on time.
