Mine too...and when the call is from an area code where I have no friends
or relatives, I make the assumption that it's someone I don't want to talk
to. If they leave a message - which they rarely do - I'll know whether my
assumption was wrong - which it very, very rarely ever is.

I simply don't answer calls that don't show phone numbers or are from out of
the area. The people I know from outside the area know to email me instead
of phoning me. And anybody who knows me will know to leave a message or a
text if they can't reach me immediately.
