nollyI just posted this as a comment in someone else's LJ, but I think it deserves a post of its own here.
I hate calling when I don't know who's going to answer the phone. Even when I know everyone in the house, if I want to talk to one specifically, I'll freeze. It's part of why I'll nearly always call a cell before a home number. There are a few exceptions, like my parents, and maybe my brother and his wife. Strangers are a subset of not knowing who will answer. I do find business calls easier than personal calls, usually because I don't feel like I'm potentially interrupting something more important -- I'm calling for a legitimate reason. They're also usually easier to script. I'd hate coldcalling, though.
