I've left mssgs before after repeated not answering phone but have NEVER received a call back
Other day I tried another tactic-----got the voice mssg and left no mssg but still #ed so they heard the click/hangup. I got a callback within 2 minutes asking "you just called me, who dis is"------they hide behind voice mail and then too curious to not want to know who it is
Yesterday another funny situation, I did the same. Then got a text, not a call, telling me to not call again without leaving a mssg so obviously another hide behind the voice mail type. We got into a text back and forth war when I told them I cant comply with that as don't keep phone logs without them telling me who they are. After 2 or 3 back and forths just to mess with them of course they never told me of course ( I know who it is so will call from another # next time before I eventually doorknock). In one of my texts b ack told them if they want to know what a call is about then answer the phone.
What irks me more---but I understand---is when they don't come to the door when doorknocking when you know with 100% certainty they are there
I had something like that happen years ago when I was calling out of a phone book. I told them I'd be glad to not call again and asked their name. The woman wouldn't tell me. I told her I'd have to spend a lot of time going back through the phone book looking for her #, but she still wouldn't tell me because she didn't want me to know where she lived. Well I found her # and her name and address were listed, so I sent her a silly note in the mail telling her "I know where she lives". I never heard anything from her.
I know what you mean. I've caught them peeking out of the window after I knocked and waved to them while I'm standing at their door and they still didn't answer. Guess I need to practice "The Wave".
