Leave a message, and I'll get back to you on my timeline. Or, not. My landline phone has a blocker button, and you're damn right I use it. If you're trying to sell me a car warranty--or anything else, consider yourself blocked. I don't even have my mobile phone on most of the time. It's mainly for emergencies.

I really don't get this mentality that one is obligated to answer the phone immediately. THEY are impinging on your time, not the other way around.
