when you miss a phonecall & there's no voicemail...

..and it's an odd number that you definitely do no't recognize. Do you call this stranger back? Or just let it go?

Personally - I NEVER call back if I don't recognize the number. If it was important enough then they would have left a voicemail. The fact that they did not leads me to assume that they probably just dialed the wrong number.


okay, this question has derived from my own experience today. I called a number that used to belong to a friend of mine (forgetting that she had changed it a couple weeks ago). Anyway, so I suddenly realized that as it was ringing and hung up. About a minute later, the person calls me back and of course i didn't answer (because I felt awkward. lol) The odd thing is that he left me a voicemail, giving me his HOUSE NUMBER. I have no idea why. So obviously, I just ignored it. And then he called me back AGAIN, but this time left no voicemail. Odd. So i figure if he calls a third time, I'll answer and just tell him that I had the wrong number. But i thought it was very weird that he would call me back TWICE and even leave me his other number. strange. (DH thought I was such a nerd for not answering, but I was awkward. haha. Don't know why)

so anyway - what do you do? Do you call back or just ignore it? I know that DH is like me - if we don't recognize the number, we don't call back (sometimes we don't even answer either)
