Rant 1 : Private Numbers.

Ever had a missed call on your mobile before and when you check it it’s number withheld?
This happens me far too fucking often. Even when I’m about to pick up the phone and it’s private number it annoys me. I have no idea who it could be, and whether or not to answer, which inevitably means I do just in case it’s important. It could be a mate asking me to do something later on,(good) or it could be my boss asking me to come in on very short notice, knowing I’m too nice to say no if I think they’re stuck (bad).
How am I supposed to call someone back if I missed their call when they have their number on private?
Most annoying part is that there’s really no explanation as to why someone would have their number on private! I’ve asked people and the main response I get is “Yeah, I dunno actually”. Then take it the fuck off! Christ. We all had our number on private when we were kids, just on the offchance we’d be pranking someone for poops and giggles. But now, it’s completely pointless.
