i know so many people who wont pick up the phone if the call is blocked or its a number they dont recognize... I mean even if it is a stranger, its not like theyre going to come through the phone and grab you, whats the deal?

  1. In my experience, if the calls are blocked, it's for a reason. They seem to know already that people won't want to talk to them, so I trust them on that.


  2. I agree with the above poster... it is not about being scared, it is about being annoyed and wasting your time with a telemarketer or some other unwanted caller.

  3. They could be creditors. That's the only way I would be scared.

    I would answer it if I knew of someone who plans to call me and has a number that is blocked or unlisted.

  4. no one is scared. its just annoying. I dont answer those calls because its probably somebody trying to act big and bad and hardcore over the telephone, and if your so big and bad and hardcore, then call me with your number UNBLOCKED. people who block numbers are the ones who are scared.

  5. My house phone is a blocked number and when i call friends or family they never answer! Its so annoying and I always get the same answer, "I never answer blocked numbers". I just wonder what they did before called id...

  6. Like others said, it is usually a charity or telemarketer.  Or it could be someone out to prank call everyone in the neighborhood.  I usually still answer anyway, but I answer the phone a lot slower with the blocked/unknown numbers.

  7. They are blocked for a reason.

    I'm not sure about scared, some people might be just tired of getting stupid/annoying calls.

  8. Because if it is a blocked or unfamiliar number there is a good chance that it is a charity or some other c**p that they would rather just not deal with at all.

  9. If someone wants to talk to me so much they should let me know who they are. None of my friends have blocked numbers and if I don't know who is calling me I have no interest in talking to them.

    Why are people scared to let the person they are calling know who they are?

  10. I have no ideal, I always pick up the phone if its blocked

    Not a big deal, it its a telemarkting all you have to do is hang up the phone. its not hard.
