We're at the point whete calling me is useless. My phone is on silent, vibrate if you're lucky. Email me or text me. I'll get back to you. If you need to get a hold of me, you're already marked urgent in my phone. If not, good luck.
I totally get that. My phone has been on silent for the last 7 years. Do not disturb for all but direct family members.
I hate when I have to answer unknown calls like when im expecting a call from a doctor's office or something. Usually my phone is set to ring only when a saved contact is calling me.
I usually put the phone near the speakers with some war videos from Insurgency: Sandstorm and go with my regular day.
We used to put the on 'hold' and put them in a drawer. Just, "hey, theres someone at the door, can you wait a minute?" And then come back an hour later and see how long the cordless said the call had last.
Had one last 1.5h once.
These days, I just whistle a loud sustained C# into the phone that seems to pick up particularly well, and usually getts them to hang up cursing pretty quickly
