I get A LOT of calls from 800/888 numbers, both on my cell phone and my home phone. I know I need to do the blocking thing, but it keeps slipping my mind (or I just get too damn lazy to do anything about it).
Of course, a few of those 800/888 callers are from collections (oops :x) but the vast majority are telemarketers. Anyway, I make it a point to NEVER answer a call coming from an 800/888 number. Any of you avoid certain calls on a regular basis? |

I don't even answer my home phone, but on my cell phone, I usually just get calls from my cell phone provider or something about credit cards. I usually just say no and hang up promptly. lol My boyfriend gets at least one call a month about his credit card because they want him to purchase certain monthly protection plans, and he tells them no. They even call his house! They haven't done that to me, but they're annoying because they keep talking and he's not the type of person to leave people hanging, but at the end of the calls he would yell at them and tell them that they keep calling him even though he says no. Quite sad. ;x
