TOP 5 Reasons I DO NOT answer MY PHONE!
These are mine..... what are yours........
5.  Caller ID says it's your spouse's Mother on the other end of the line.

4.  You're riding in the CAR with Someone besides YOURSELF - your kids, spouse, a friend.  (OK I admit I do answer when in the car with kids, rarely with husband, rarely to never when it's a friend in the car with me.)
3.  You're in a meeting!  I was in a meeting the woman in front of me DID ANSWER HER PHONE.
2.  You are with clients.

The NUMBER 1 REASON to NOT Answer your phone.....

1.   You  are in the BATHROOM --- yes someone actually DID answer their phone when I called, and YES they were in the bathroom - they told me!!!

Come on add to the list.... I know you've got examples..........

Susan -  I refuse to answer the phone when  I am eating a  meal. Especially dinnertime , because that is when everyone in the family shares their day with each other. I rarely get to eat with my family during the Spring Market so when I get the chance they have my full attention.

I was attending a Funeral Mass last month when I heard a cell phone ring and a man a few pews behind me did answer the call.  He then got up and exited the church while engaged in a muffled conversation with the person at the other end.  Pretty rude.

I don't suppose being told that the person on the other end of the line is in the bathroom is as bad as being able to figure it out yourself.

I agree, in a work meeting,  I will check the # and not answer. With a client, I will not answer and even call waiting, I will look at the number and return as soon as I am off. My clients need their full attention.

I don't answer because I get a ton of sales people trying to sell me something.  If I took those calls I'd never get any business accomplished.  Everyone in the office is really good at figuring out if they're 'real' calls or sales calls.  I mean come on....who likes telemarketeers at home or at the office. No thanks!

PS I absolutely agree that one should NOT take calls when they're with a client unless someone is calling for something they need.

Laura -- I do agree I don't answer during dinner either.

Tom - a funeral -- must not have been a person that was that important to the recipient of the phone call.  GOOD GRIEF.

Cheryl- you are right being able to figure it out, or having someone in the next stall start commenting on the conversation is JUST WEIRD.

Terri - I don't answer my call waiting either.  It's your turn for my attention, it's YOUR turn.  If I answered call waiting I'm not sure I'd ever finish a conversation.  I hate it when people put me on hold.  It's as if they are saying - "sorry this person is more important to you."

Anna- Luckily I'm not getting so many telemarketers - not yet.

Susan,

 

I used to answer the phone WHILE cooking dinner....till one day the phone dropped off my shoulder and onto the floor!

Now, I realize....I still need some NO PHONE time!

I don't pick up when the caller ID is blocked. Too many times it's sales call.
