I don't hear well, sometimes when outside and someone is visiting they'll say, phone's ringing. They act like I should break and run to answer. Right so some SOB can try to sell me a tombstone. Leave a message, I might just call back. At my convenience.
Years ago I asked my Dad why he wouldn't answer the phone after around 9pm. He told me at that time of night either someone had died or in trouble. If died, he couldn't help them and if in trouble they didn't need him to get in trouble, so didn't need him to get out.

I wasn't allowed to take or make a phone call after 9 pm. I still live by that; unless it's really important I won't call anyone after 9. Unless I feel like chatting (which I rarely do; I hate phones), or it's my family and I know something must be up, I won't pick up after 9 either.

I'm not a slave to the telephone, though I thank Mr Bell profusely for inventing it.
