More like:

80%: Contact added ages back, and is of no use now. Probably a dead number too.

10%: Contacts I actually call.

10%: Other shit.

[–]ibanez5150 6 points7 points ago

...and 100% reason to remember the name.

[–]GabrielsTrumpet -1 points0 points ago

Don't forget when your phone autopopulates your phone with your entire Facebook friend list.

[–]wuzuppeoplzz 0 points1 point ago

You can turn that off.

[–]zoodiary8 -3 points-2 points ago

maybe 5% : Contacts and 15% : Shit...

[–]nodnarbiter 0 points1 point ago

That's at least a 10% increase in shit since the last quarter margin

[–]crimson_05 17 points18 points ago

Option #3: I never call most of these people but it helps my self esteem to have them all in there.

[–]NotaMethAddict 74 points75 points ago

Reddit, why am I forever alone?

Hold that thought, one of my friends is calling me and I need to ignore it.

[–]Italian_Barrel_Roll 11 points12 points ago

The friends aren't the ones you're ignoring. The ones you ignore are scammers, exes, family members, collectors, recruiters, etc.

[–]FlyByDusk 6 points7 points ago

So you just happen to have all scammers, collectors, and recruiters numbers in your contacts?

[–]dumble99 1 point2 points ago

I keep an extensive list of all scammers in my contacts, you can never be too safe.

[–]Italian_Barrel_Roll -2 points-1 points ago

They call, you add them to the ignore pile, simple as that.

[–]centipedeseverywhere 2 points3 points ago

Or stalkers. I just lost all of my numbers and accidentally responded to a text from "ryan crazy frost". Now he won't leave me alone.

[–]zoodiary8 -1 points0 points ago

Same thing calling my Brother and i also need to ignore it..

[–]Anotherdamnclone 0 points1 point ago

Nope co-workers calling in place of my boss.

[–]ZeroGSpaceCow 0 points1 point ago

"Jim, you called in sick today, but your Reddit account has been active all day. We really need you to come in..."

[–]Anotherdamnclone 0 points1 point ago

9230: The customer you are trying to text is out of servace.

[–]angrydeuce 0 points1 point ago

To be fair, the only people I actually 'talk' to on the phone are my parents and elderly relatives.

Everyone else communicates solely via text/chat/email. People that call me will find I don't answer the phone very often (because I'm usually too busy to have a phone conversation) but if they shoot me a text I'm all too happy to respond. I hate talking on the phone in public or when hanging out with other people. Just fucking hate it.

[–]akarp1 6 points7 points ago

Majority of my contacts are from drunken nights with no recollection of meeting said person..

[–]totems 1 point2 points ago

Yes, that is ofcourse the reason of your phone contacts. To avoid them.

Did you convince yourself that?

[–]Guitarcooplmao 11 points12 points ago

Well someone's a bit antisocial

[–]helium_farts -2 points-1 points ago

Maybe he just doesn't like talking on the phone.

[–]walgman 0 points1 point ago

Funny I was only culling my contacts an hour ago and left loads in for that reason.

[–]Rad2 0 points1 point ago

this is my girl numbers to guy numbers comparison.

[–]HATERS_SHALL_HATE 0 points1 point ago

Looking at my recent messages list is pathetic because if the ratio

[–]Rad2 0 points1 point ago

That feel.

[–]Jhobozo 0 points1 point ago

Forever alone

[–]Lusst 2 points3 points ago

Reject List on Android...best shit ever.

[–]fecesfacial 2 points3 points ago

You're probably sooooooooo cool

[–]CajunTurkey -1 points0 points ago

I have them listed for when I need them.

[–]scumbag-reddit -1 points0 points ago

Phony contacts.

[–]brimur -1 points0 points ago

Because Facebook sync

[–]Time_and_a_half -1 points0 points ago

more like 60% people i avoid, 10% people I call, 30% weed dealers

[–]Sucio 0 points1 point ago

My favorite one I have is: "Student Loan Bitches!"

[–]mrdoink20 -1 points0 points ago

My phone contract is mainly used to call my phone tariff to complain to them about my swanky touchy screen phone that fucks up in a new way weekly.

[–]metallica3790 -1 points0 points ago

Am I the only one around here who has phone numbers mostly for people I actually like?

[–]KhazMoonianFingh 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one around here who has numbers ONLY for people I actually like?

Seriously, wtf??? If I don't have a number in my list I don't answer it.

Ex-roommates, gone. Ex-gf, fucking gone! That dude from that one time, fuck off! If they leave a message I'll listen. If not, fuck 'em.

You people are bass-ackwards.

[–]rabbitlion -1 points0 points ago

"Send directly to voicemail" is a godsend...

[–]lixingke -1 points0 points ago

[–]HeavilybluntedEnt -1 points0 points ago

I never answer a number I don't know

[–]vash0093 -1 points0 points ago

My friends get onto me all the time about this. I don't give a fuck. lol There are just some people out there that need avoiding.

[–]Marsii -1 points0 points ago

Both my friend and boyfriend took the liberty to delete contacts of ex's saying "That shouldn't be there." YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'VE DONE

[–]asiriphong 0 points1 point ago

I have over a thousand contacts in my phone that I've just accumulated over years and years. I probably keep in touch or talk to about less than 10% of them. ಠ_ಠ

[–]Cmoses128 0 points1 point ago

I have a contact labled "nope" with a whole bunch of numbers under it. Don't know who they are just know not to answer

[–]sandman369 0 points1 point ago

I feel like I'm the only smartphone user to not have caller ID. Probably because I hardly ever get calls I'm not expecting, it's all texts.

[–]dragonmoony 0 points1 point ago

Then stop being so fake, and stop hanging out with people you actually don't like

[–]Ihmhi 0 points1 point ago

Phones should have multiple contact lists so you can sort them. This way I can go to the "People I Give A Fuck About" list to call my friends.

[–]Captain_Kuhl 0 points1 point ago

The real 95%: Facebook adds everyone on your friends list into your contacts if they have a cell number online.

[–]Phaint 0 points1 point ago

I actively clean out my phone of contacts but I have caught myself leaving particular people I don't talk to in case they try to text/call so I know who it is.

[–]Damnskipp 0 points1 point ago

Really? You hate the people that give you their numbers?

[–]Sparling 0 points1 point ago

I use my phone for work too (they reimburse part of my bill). 1541 contacts. About 30 are personal. The rest are every vendor, client, contractor, etc that the company has ever used.

Also, I recall about 10 years ago when I still had a land line I bought a $5 box from radio shack. It was called a caller ID in which anyone who called had the phone number and maybe more importantly name of the person or business show up on the screen. WTF happened to that tech?

[–]recovering_PMO 0 points1 point ago

I have so many because I synced facebook so that if someone has to use my phone it looks like talk to a lot of different people.

[–]InstigatorNY -1 points0 points ago

[–]CatMadeOfFur -1 points0 points ago

I wish I had People I could ignore.

[–]Mohawkenberg 1 point2 points ago

Pie chart jokes are usually for things most people can agree with. Is reddit really this misanthropic?

[–]A_Wild_Missingno 0 points1 point ago

This is a pie chart of how much pie I ate HUEHUEHUEHEUHEU

This is a pie chart of pacman HEUHEUEHHEUHUEHUEHU

Obviously you have never heard of bill collectors

[–]bubbafloyd -2 points-1 points ago

Yes. Can't squeeze blood from a turnip. Even with pretty good medical insurance, 6 weeks in a coma will mess up all your plans for being a responsible citizen. Dents can be made every month but it doesn't stop 20 or 30 different interested parties from calling all the time.

[–]lolipopp 1 point2 points ago

That sucks. You know the folks at /r/personalfinance are really good at helping people eliminate debt if you needed any advice.

[–]idunnothis -2 points-1 points ago

This is exactly the only reason I keep ex-girlfriends numbers.

[–]athrix -2 points-1 points ago

For those that use their phone for work..

Keeping track of business cards fucken sucks.

[–]sackofblood -2 points-1 points ago

That is some chump shit.

[–]XTheFifthHorsemanX -2 points-1 points ago

99% Year old numbers I don't delete because that would look like I have no friends.

1% Mom

[–]Royed -2 points-1 points ago

I can't be the only one here that doesn't find a drop of truth in this pic

[–]MixedJelly 0 points1 point ago

Calls? lol wut? Who calls people anymore?
