Yeah, I know, but that pretty much nullifies one of the reasons for having a
phone. Lots of people discard important calls and never know they did.

My workplace has that problem, or I should say patients have that problem. See,
scheduled surgeries and techniques run on a tight time table because the waiting
queues are chronically full and so many people is in such a state you cannot
have them waiting for long. This means when somebody in the queue drops off for
whatever reason, the secretary picks the list and attempts to reschedule
somebody late in the queue and advance him to fill the gap.

And she grabs the phone, and the patient does not pick the call because he does
not recognize the number, and the secretary moves over to the next person in the
list if she does not make it in three attempts.

When I talk about this, everybody tells us how we should be doing things in
order to accomodate people who is not picking the phone, but let's face it, we
don't give a flying fuck because if the chances of having the call picked by
each patient are 10% then we can be sure somebody will pick it and fill the gap
eventually. The only people getting burned by this phenomena is the people
refusing to pick the fucking phone.
