Reply To: Please don't put me on hold

I will not answer the click if I am talking to my parents, in-laws, child’s teacher etc. Likewise, I will only pick up a click if it is from one of the above or someone I do need to speak to right away. The only other time I will answere a click is if I am talking with a chatty friend and need an excuse to hang up :). Most people today “get it” that if the phone rings 4 or 5 times and there is no answer, or even a machine, then the person you are calling is on the phone and the caller will try again later.
