How I deal with annoying phone calls

Tweet

You all can love your cell phones but I'll stick with my landline until the day I die. I am not important enough to have a phone attached to my ear day in and day out. One thing people like me complain about are the annoying phone calls - you know the ones from political organizations or telemarketers. Well, I don't have that problem and you wouldn't either if you had the right caller ID. I don't mean the basic one that shows you the number of the person calling, but the one that tells you - yes, a talking caller ID is the only way to not be annoyed by those pesky intruders. We originally bought a unit, a talking caller ID that worked and still works very well. But when I bought a new Panasonic cordless phone it had a built-in talking caller ID. So if we don't want to be bothered jumping out of our chairs to answer an unwanted phone call, we just listen for the caller ID to give us the information we need to determine if we pick up the phone or not. No more coming up with ways to discourage a telemarketer. A talking caller ID does the work for us! Thanks to @JudyEv for the idea for this discussion. Photo is mine.
