Let it go to voice mail. No caller expects another person (especially of the opposite sex) to answer the dialed phone.
-
I answer it if she is: A.) My sister. B.) My Mom C.) My grandmother D.) My best friend Other than that, I let it go to the voice mail. As far as the ones I would answer (the above choices) I just talk according to whos calling.
-
I'd answer it, say we're at dinner and my friend is in the bathroom would they call back in 5 mins. There's no way I could sit by the phone letting it ring!
-
I am not their executive assistant! It is not my job to answer the phone. Besides, it is rude to talk on the phone at a restaurant.
-
I let it go to voice mail

Billy Bobs love shack,how can we service you?

If it is someone else's phone, I am surely not going to answer it for them! Think of how awkward that could be when she returns... ("Oh, hey Susie... Mmmhmm... yeah... uh-huh.. Oh, speak of the Devil!") Let it go to voicemail...
-
hello this is (friends name) phone. thats what i do
-
I wouldn't answer it, but I would "silence" it so that the ringing didn't disturb anyone else. I hate when people bring their cell phones out at restaurants.
-
"_____'s phone." More than likely, I'll know who it is, and we'll talk until she comes back from the bathroom.
-
Let it go to voice mail. I would consider it an intrusion to answer someone else's phone (OK, if it's my husband's phone and the caller is a family member or *mutual* friend, I might answer, but that's the only time I would answer someone else's cell phone unless the owner asked me to).

All phones OFF at restaurants. OFF! Not even on vibrate.
-
Let it go to voicemail but if it is was a quiet restaurant I would definitely silence the ringer.
-
Cell phone in a restaurant? Who do you go out with? Does he eat with a fork? Does he wear shoes?
-
You should have the phone on silent, period. Unless you were expecting an emergancy call, then vibrate is fine. I am speaking from experience that if the cell phone is off and a voicemail is recieved, it may take anywhere from 15-20 min to a few hours to get the message once the phone is turned back on. Leave it go to voice mail though.
-
I personally DESPISE others messing with my phone! But I wouldn't leave it, ringer on, at the table either. I feel it is Very rude to pick up someone's phone and check out who's calling or answer. It's none of your business! But please, do silence the ringer!!
-
i press the side button so it goes to silent. I dont answer it.
-
Let it ring and go to her voice mail.
-
if it's a friend I might answer and say something like "hello,Lisa's phone"
-
Since its not my cell phone, and or I didn't get permission, its not my business to answer cell. Always let it go to voice mail. Here's my reasoning...... 1-They might hang up hearing another person's voice not knowing who you are. 2-They are more likely to leave a much needed detailed message on voice mail then to someone they don't know, or even if they do know you,they may not want to tell you right then..

Probably would turn a bowl upside down over it to everyones delight.
