Do me a favor. Don’t answer my call.

We know you are busy. We know you are important. You don’t have to answer your phone just to tell me you can’t talk because you are:
a) in a meeting
b) totally swamped
c) talking to the boss
d) rescuing a kitten
e) flying to LA
f) at a B-List award show/party.

There is nothing worse than anticipating speaking with someone, getting excited when they answer the phone and then being told to “Hey, I can’t talk”. If you don’t have time to talk to me why the hell would you even bother answering the phone. You have voice mail. It’s free. I will leave a message. This way you are completely uninterrupted from your very, very important life.
