Googling a phone number that called me to try and figure out who it was instead of just answering it like an adult
I do this, and most of those numbers turn out to be from scammers. There's nothing wrong with doing this.
Well, as an adult you might just act wisely and not answer any more of these friggin scam and phone-advertising calls.
I answer the cold calls/telemarketing ones eventually as get fed up - tell them an not interested and request the take me off their database. Otherwise they just call and call. Really annoys me if I am expecting a call, rush to get my phone and it is just some number from a city I don't know anyone. Here in the UK they seem to have changed regulations so a number has to show up as a area code and town/city, (even if it counds like a foreign call centre) Doesnt seem to come up as "withheld number" any more.

I have answered these calls to be met with silence on the other end and then an automated system. I block them afterwards.
Those are just a pain. You cant even tell them to go to hell . Or the ones that are just automated messages.

Last week I had 6 calls from the same UK number in 2 days - answered aventually. Was someone telling me my washing machine warranty had just expired and did I want to renew. Curious, as my machine is at least 10 years old, belongs to my landlord, and was here 5 years before I even moved in. How do they assiciate my mobile number and name with an old washing machine I dont even own? As a rulel I only answer mobile numbers (even if not in contacts) and calls from my local area dialling code.

I can't stand it when they call and call, but they never leave a message.
A few days ago, I missed a call from an unknown phone number. I saw they tried to call me 2 times, so I assumed it was important. I called back, "hello? I saw you called me? How can I help you?" - "Oh..." the voice said, "I'm sorry, I actually dialed the wrong number." Ehehehe, yeah, it happens.
I only answer my phone if its my husband, best friend, or mom. I even screen phone calls from work. I haaaaaaaate being on the phone.
Less than 5% of my incoming calls are from real humans who know me or do business with me. I never answer calls if not in my address book.
I loathe talking on the phone even with people I like. Definitely not answering if I don't know who you are
i keep getting "blank" voicemails from som many-they let it go then say nothing! some even talk as if i answered!
I get calls frequently from the same number. If they are very persistent, I'll grab the phone and yell "what the hell do you want now?" Then I slam the receiver down before they can answer. That stops the calls. Sometimes they start calling from different numbers and then I get to do it again until they stop. (Yes, I still have a landline. Where I live, cell signals are very poor and difficult to find. I usually have to go outside and walk around the yard to find one. It doesn't help that my house sits at the base of a mountain!)
I answer and never say anything. If it's a Michigan number like mine I answer it and wait. If it's not Michigan and not from Mississippi or Alabama where I have family I just look at and block it right after. There was three different times that I got a call but the caller id was USA, Dominican Republic, and Russia. I rejected them and blocked them so fast

So they let you have a pen and a toothbrush, but not shoelaces? Weird, seems to me that if someone wanted to sharpen the toothbrush on the non brush end they could injure themselves with the toothbrush or the pen.
I think you could benefit from following your own advice, TJler.
