Yeah, I'm retired, which is amazingly freeing.Good one!
I do basically the same thing. Mine says, "due to the high volume of spam I receive, all calls are screened and I do not respond to any caller that does not leave a message."
I also run my own business so I need to be professional about it.

If it's a real person and it's important they should leave a voice-mail so you can then return their callI think owning a phone is a social contract. One must answer it or call back in a timely manner. Otherwise we lose a bit of civility. Sure robocalls and such abuse the contract but we dont have to stoop to their level.
Awesome you got your maverick by the way!
I've got a few extra extended warranties I would like to speak with you about.I think owning a phone is a social contract. One must answer it or call back in a timely manner. Otherwise we lose a bit of civility. Sure robocalls and such abuse the contract but we dont have to stoop to their level.

You're lucky they stopped, we get constant junk calls over & over. Reported them many times but no luck. Some call 3 times a day.I was getting the same recorded spam call every day, 3 times a day for months on end. A call would come in from what was obviously a busy call center, they would say something in english but nonsensical, then hang up. The only purpose to this particular scam is to validate that your number is active so they can sell it to more scammers. Then you get more calls. Eventually they stopped.
Why on earth would I answer?
My brother and I have a contest going on to see how long we can keep them on the call and how many people we talk toI do it to mess with them. I dont know alot of people change their phone numbers all the time. I have had the same phone number since 1999 and the same email since long before AOL mailed CDs out. I want my old freinds from high school to be able to get ahold of me if they kept my number.
I also like to take the opportunity to lead on telemarketers. They have a pretty sucky job and it breaks up the monotony for them.
When its a robo call it gives me an opportunity to make a joke to my wife or coworkers about my lack of anything worth an extended warranty.
My phone is a simple flip phone there is no need to look at it before answering it. I just pull it out and put it to my ear. I actually spend far less time on most spam calls than people listening to it ring or selecting to ignore it after reading the number. It is very much not hassle to me.
I get plenty but it just doesnt affect me really.
Never really timed myself but, I have had em on there a while. I always try to get em talking about cars. Gotta have fun with the annoyances in life.My brother and I have a contest going on to see how long we can keep them on the call and how many people we talk to
He holds the record at 22 minutes and 3 people, my record is 18 only 2 telemarketers but #2 suddenly started yelling "YOU MF I FIng RECOGNIZE YOU POS ... $%×..."
