I have seen this wrong stupid headline at least ten times

Probably thought it was a bill collector. We are all guilty of this.

Lives of the Lost and Clueless

So, there was more than one person, right? An none of them picked up the phone. That is weird…

can't say i blame them, if it was so important the rescuers should've left a message

Yeah, it's obvious the guy wasn't in danger. He still wanted to enjoy the peace of nature. 😁

They wanted to discuss getting you an extended warrant , come on man !!!

Lost and worried about a spam call. This man needs some serious help.

What an idiot

An outrageous example of political correctness: in the wording and purport of the writer, we are living in a sexless, genderless, neutered world deprived of man and woman and he and she. Every 'person' or 'subject' is 'they' or 'their'...

I get 10 to 15 spam calls a day. Blocking only helps a little. If it's important leave a message please.

Was this RepBoebert?

Maybe he didn't want to be found

Why do only conifers live in the Colorado Mountains? Thank you

I think that guy should be educated on basic survival! Lost? Answer the damn phone!

I’m thinking he wasn’t really lost. Next story.

🙅🤦😲😞😞😤😠😡💀

After 50 or 60 spam calls a day for forever, most of us are trained to not pick up unrecognizable numbers. Yes it sounds funny or stupid but when you’ve gotten what seems like 50 car warranty calls in 4 hours, it’s amazing the phone isn’t launched over a high, rocky cliff.

People like that go through life lost all the time. NEXT.

Who picks up unknown numbers?

🙄

I ain't gonna lie this would be me.

Pendejo!!!!

uh...if he had service... why didnt HE call for help?

And this is how for profit medical insurance feels like when you need medical help 🤦‍♀️

No investigation of HUD GOV FEDERAL BUILDING ATTACKS AND OUR USE OF LOCAL MEDICAL. Paparazzi supporting, they orange favorites to POTUS need to save $ per month, live free, Eminent Domain as in movies 15-20y after Adolf Hitler spoke to Heads of Nations on TV. Later:Offer$ToMe,Job

How about not putting this on the hiker? (S)he likely ignored the calls for the same reason most of us do! Instead, how about the FCC and the comms giants actually does their duty and seriously start cracking down on spoofing and on marketers who willfully ignore DNC lists?

Oh. So they weren't lost. Just stupid.

So.... if they were receiving calls... maybe... idk... make a call?

Pretty sure most people on here would rather be lost than answer a call about an extended warranty.

Thats why never interfere with mother nature should of let him be !

I guess you need to keep the chances of getting scammed at minimum... even when you are stranded in the middle of nowhere

What about caller ID?

rolandsmartin I would put him right back 😂 out there.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ wonder why he was lost?

If you call 911 , you may get a call back from a blocked number . If it's safe to do so answer your phone . The Police may need further information or may need to gain entry to your residence. That is not the time to screen your phone calls.

Hot mess. They didn't have caller ID

If the hiker was 'lost' and had a cell phone signal, what is the reason for not calling for help? 🤔🤷‍♀️

That's why robo calls need to be done away with.

“They “ :1 .. Got it …

was it gop religious, sounds like their idiocy

I'm sorry this makes no sense, if your lost and scared and your phone rings, you're going to ignore it I'd be hey help whoever you are..

We are all tired of hearing about our vehicles extended warranty.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Sounds like a typical Biden voter
