I always screen my calls at home, just to make sure the person calling is someone I want to talk to. A lot of telemarketers call my house, for some reason. I'm not worried about them talking me into buying something I don't want. I'm just too polite to hang up on people and I don't feel like wasting my time saying, "Sorry. I'm not interested." for 10 minutes until the person on the other end finally gives up.
I don't screen calls on my cell phone, since there are only a handful of people who know my number.
