Restricted call

[SatCam]

Do you pick it up?

[Tallman388]

Only when I have a good feeling about it. The other night I picked up and it was my buddy who was in Italy for culinary school. He was hammered and it was 4 a.m. his time. Best restricted caller ever!

[lleeder]

Depends on time of day and feel of the call.

[Lady Resin]

Never

[Kevin]

Leave a message if its important.

[Chigworthy]

What the hell is a restricted call?

[jauble]

What the hell is a restricted call?

A call that wears briefs.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

yes but all of my wife's family members are restricted numbers


sucks because we cant screen them

[Tenbatsuzen]

Lately, yes, because I'm doing a lot of business. Normally, I'd let it go to voice mail.

Never. Identify yourself!

[DonInNC]

Worst conversation I was ever witness too:

sister-in-law: Hey, we've been calling, but you guys never pick up.
wife: Is that you with the restricted number? Sorry, we never pick up restricted numbers.
sister-in-law: Oh wow, I didn't realize...well now you'll know it's us calling.
wife: All you have to do is enter *68 (I can't remember the real number) first, and your name will show up.
sister-in-law: wow, that seems like a lot of extra effort.
wife: It's less effort than having to drive here in person to tell us what you have to say.

ugh.

Take them off your Christmas card list, now.

[jonyrotn]

Noway..I've been burnt too many times with that shit..

yes you can, don't answer restricted calls. fuckin' animals.

[JimmieHats]

Hardly ever answer them. Same with numbers I don't know. If it's important, they'll leave a message.

[IamPixie]

I won't even answer it if I don't recognize the number. leave a message if its that important

[Marc with a c]

always

[RoseBlood]

Usually, but only cause I know it will probably be one of two people whose number is always "private" or "blocked".

[Tallman388]

I won't even answer it if I don't recognize the number. leave a message if its that important

Not even for an Irish lad with production skills?

[Death Metal Moe]

Can I get a Restricted?

[BlackSpider]

I only answer my cell phone.
My home phone/answering machine is reserved strictly for telemaketers to talk to.
Anybody I want to talk to knows to call me on my cell. Fuck everybody else...

in that case, why even have a land line?

[~Katja~]

I barely pick up listed calls, restricted are just non existent for me

don't call, don't text much and never return VM until 5 days later (if at all)

[brettmojo]

Nope.

:clap:

Oooooof! Family conversations can tend to get a bit nasty.

[Misteriosa]

9 times out of 10, i dont pick up the call. the only time i will pick up is if i am expressly told that someone is going to call me.

leave me a voice mail or leave me alone.

[scottinnj]

It's for the DSL now. I never use it.

In fact, family members with restricted numbers know they will be leaving me a voicemail-and now they are beginning to see that anytime they "FWD:" an email to me, their address gets put in the spam folder.

Enough of the BS. Call me or email me with something that is relevant and I need to know. Other then that, tell your freinds the joke, and go to hell with the "Obama is a Muslim" forwards.

[PapaBear]

I think I've only ever received one restricted call on my cell ever. It was day before yesterday, and it was a prank. I was kinda hoping he'd call back so I could call him a pussy for blocking his call.

[IamPixie]

Not even for an Irish lad with production skills?

gtalk and skype were invented for a reason.

[cougarjake13]

Do you pick it up?



no

anyone that might be calling wouldnt come up as restricted

so i let it go to voicemail, if its important enough, theyll leave a message

I do the same thing. We keep the land line for when the power goes out, damn LIPA.

I have been getting 2-4 calls a day from "unknown caller", both when I am home and not home. When I pick up no one is ever there. Is this someone trying to figure out my schedule? I called ATT and I can block them next time after they call by *60, but what's up with these calls? If you're a telemarketing at least say something so then I can tell you to go f yourself...Anybody else get these?

i did. the it turned out that THE CALLS WERE COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!!!!!!!

[Fallon]

It's usually two people, either my landlady or a person I work with. If it's important leave me a message.

this reminds me of a line of ron's the other day, "i leave my ringer off and i never, ever check my messages. thats the past and i'm living in the future!"

You have two cell phones and one them with an answering machine?

Never do I answer those calls, if it is so important it would not be restricted.
