This week: We’ve all been there. The phone rings. You look to see who’s calling and are immediately stymied by the words BLOCKED or PRIVATE NUMBER showing up on the screen.
It’s a tough call (no pun intended). Is it your bank? A dodgy ex? Your mother who never worked out how to show her phone number after she got that new phone? There’s no way to know – so do you answer it or not?
Vote here: Do you answer phone calls when the number is private and you can’t see who’s ringing?
Poll Results:
C - NEVER. I don't trust phone calls that come from blocked numbers/I don't want to answer if I don't know who it is (3997)
D - Can't we all just get along? (2034)
B - Sometimes. It depends, really. (1669)
A - Yes. I'm very curious/I have to answer a ringing phone (536)
