I miss phone screening. I wish I could just let all calls go to my answering machine and if the caller is leaving a legit message about something I could pick up, or if the caller was a telemarketer or someone I didn’t want to talk to, let them think I wasn’t home. Now, if someone calls and I don’t pick up, I have to explain that the phone was in another room and I didn’t hear it even though everyone knows I’m on Lemmy 24/7.

I don’t have to explain shit.
I was busy, the end.
Besides, I don’t answer random calls except from very specific people.
