Don't think that just because you are loved or part of the family, your phone calls will be answered. 90% of cell phone users ignore their incoming calls, and the calls that are most frequently ignored are the ones that come from loved ones -- not strangers or work colleagues reports of a study from Britain's University of Salford.

The top 10 reasons for not answering a cell phone:

  1. Did not hear the ring
  2. Driving
  3. Feeding a pet
  4. Unable to speak
  5. Busy in the bathroom
  6. Can't find the cell phone
  7. In a meeting
  8. Didn't recognize the number
  9. Not in the mood to answer
  10. Others might overhear
