I don't wanna make assumptions, but this sounds like you're probably not American. Americans are completely inundated with spam calls every day. It is hard for me as a European to imagine this kind of life, but that's what it is like for them.

As a result, I as a European cannot fathom how one can even live a life with a phone in America, while for Americans it's unfathomable that we would actually use our phones as phones by answering calls.
