Since the publication of this comic 17 years ago there have been numerous things to help put an end to disturbing calls during dinner. The National Do Not Call list is one thing and Caller ID is available if you buy a telephone that is capable of that and add that to your telephone service. I program my phone to silent mode for specified times of the day.
Why would anyone answer their phone while they’re eating unless it was someone they knew, and had a good reason to interrupt dinner to talk to? Granted, I pretty much never answer the phone even if I know the person, and I know they do have a good reason to talk to me, but still? Why would you answer a number you don’t know while you’re eating?
