You guys answer the phone when it’s an unknown caller?
I only answer an unknown caller if I’m expecting a call.

Also hate when people message ‘hey’ and leave it there without stating their purpose

Unknown numbers go straight to vm without ringing. I don’t have time for that shit and I am not that busy really.

I always use Samsung’s text call assist feature. If it’s a robo call, they usually hang up.

I usually hand the phone to my son, who has a special talent for messing with telemarketers. He’s done it so much that they never call his number anymore.
My favorite was when he asked a person trying to sell him health insurance if their policy covered the clone he’d created.

I just give them the hardest early 2000s xbox live chat experience they’ll ever have and hopefully they hang up crying.

I just let the Google assistant answer for me in such cases

That mean “heLLO” and then realize it was the one time it wasn’t a spam call and suddenly your apologizing in your best customer service voice.

If i do answer an unknown number call I answer and immediately mute the mic. If they really wanna get a hold of me they’d say hello.

Just answer the phone and whisper “I’m listening” and sit there in silence and don’t answer any questions.

When i worked with outgoing calls, the machine would dial them, and if a person said hello it would switch the call to the next available operator to make the pitch.

Even when the caller is blatantly identified on my phone I don’t answer it. Hell, I look at my bill every month and it lists something like 1 minute of voice and I’m wracking my brain trying to think of when I talked on the phone at all, much less a whole minute.

The wrose than this is when they ask “Who are you?”
Bro, you’re the one calling, you should introduce yourself.

Just don’t pick up at that point
It’s so weird to pick up and not say hi. If someone waves at you do you just stare at them blankly? It’s a call and response, they won’t know if you’ve picked up unless the other person says something which is why every culture picks up and offers a form of greeting.
I swear this comes up from people who never actually make phone calls.

I sometimes “answer” but say absolutely nothing, no “hello”, or “hi”, just silence. A real person starts saying hello?? That is 2% of the time, the rest is silence.
