I answered because "THATS WHY I HAVE A PHONE" but mostly because I'm expecting a call from my daughter in the Air Force, being deployed over seas I never know what my caller ID will be. Anyway, they asked if I voted in the last election and I told them it was none of their business, they asked me to spell my very simple name, I also told them if they knew me they would know how to spell my name and hung up. It's so sad that I can't use my own phone without being blasted with call from God knows who! I hardly ever got a call until I placed my name on the so-called do not call list...!!!
Understood, but.....even if you don't answer, it's annoying and intrusive just to have your phone ring all hours of the day. My Mom has around the clock caregivers and I never know if it could be one of them. It's beyond awful. I only have a cell.
