The next time you call your kid . . . or your parents . . . or your boyfriend . . . and it goes straight to their
voicemail, I want you to think about THIS . . .
According to a new study from the University of Salford in England, 90% of cell phone users say they screen
their phone calls. And they’re more likely to ignore calls from family members than those from co-workers,
or even strangers.
A woman named Dr. Ashley Weinberg co-led the study. She says the main reason people ignore calls from relatives
and close friends is because those conversations are usually longer, and involve more effort than calls from people
they don’t know as well.
In general, the ten most common reasons people ignore phone calls are:
#1.) They didn’t hear it ring
#2.) They’re driving
#3.) They’re feeding their pet (???)
#4.) They just can’t talk for one reason or another
#5.) THEY’RE HAVING SEX
#6.) They lost their phone
#7.) They’re in a meeting
#8.) They don’t recognize the number
#9.) They’re not in the mood to talk on the phone
#10.) They’re in a crowd, and they don’t want other people overhearing (All Headline News)
