On my landline phone, my answering machine gets all calls. It
eliminates all the worthless calls. My friends and customers KNOW to
leave a message and I'll call back. I always return a valid call.

Now Sheldon thinks that people that rely on answering machines are
just people hiding out from creditors. Not so for me. I pay my bills
on time so no one is looking for me. When I'm at home, I always doing
something and don't usually want to stop to answer a phone at the
moment. It could be a worthless spam call or even some long-winded
friend that I don't have time for then. I will NOT be a slave to my
phone.

When my cell phone rings, I won't answer unless you are on my friend
list. If it's an unknown number, leave a voicemail or you'll never get
a call back from me.
