i phonecrastinate a LOT tongue.gif .
Phonecrastinate (verb):
To put off answering the phone until caller ID displays the incoming name and number.

Do any of you wait for the caller ID to show who`s calling before you answer the phone? rolleyes.gif

Yeah, I always look to see who's calling and all before I answer. If it's someone I don't want to talk to, then I'll just ignore it. I also like to know who's calling so I know how to answer the phone. If it's someone calling for my parents and I'm the closest to the phone, I answer it in a different manner than I would if it were a friend of mine calling.

That kinda happens to me. Y'see, right when my phone rings, it's normally in my pocket, and if I'm wearing tight jeans, it takes a bit longer to take it out of my pocket... actually it takes long for me to take things out of my pocket in general... either way, by the time its out, the caller ID already shows up

All the time, if it is a 1-800 number I don't answer, if it is from someone I know someone in my family does not want to talk to I don't answer. And on my cell, if it is a unidentified number, I don't even bother.

No. I rarely answer my phone; I'm usually the one dialing out, or I call back (on the cell). As for the house line, it's usually busy and we don't have caller ID. But I pick that up most of the time (unless someone else gets to it first).

I usually answer my cell phone whenever it rings unless I REALLY don't want to talk to someone.

On my home phone, we don't have caller ID. I just wait for them to leave a message, and if I feel like talking, I'll answer.
