Zero. I don't make friends (or enemies) easily.

Just one; although I could probably unblock at this point since it's been a while.
I was hiring for a part time position and was all set up to hire this older black man. One of the things we have to do prior to hiring is a 10 panel drug test which is less common than the 5 panel and is done by a third party company off site. This is listed as one of the hiring requirements but I also reiterate it during the initial phone screening before I invite them in for a face to face interview. It's amazing how many applicants I get that manage to not read all the job details. Anyway, I'd give them a list of places in the area that can do this test for us and they can go to whichever one they want; usually picking the one closest to their home for convenience.
Not this guy.
Once he looked at the list he got quite pissy about the one at the top of the list (the closest one based on his home address) claiming the location was in a racist city and he ain't going to no racist city. I informed him that I had no clue what he was talking about and never had issues doing drug tests at that location before but that he was free to go to any of the other sites. He wasn't hearing it though and continued to rant so I told him thanks for his time but this is non-negotiable and he could leave the site. I tossed this into the pile of weird encounters I've had during hiring but was glad I dodged hiring him and went about my day.
The next day the guy calls back saying he changed his mind and would go get a drug test but needed the list. I informed him I wouldn't be hiring him so it was unnecessary, thanked him again and hung up. He proceeded to call back a couple more times later that day and the next trying to convince me to hire him. Wasn't happening and I stopped answering his calls. Eventually I blocked him just so I didn't have to hear the phone ringing. No clue how long it took for him to give up.
Not entirely sure why he claimed that particular city was racist though. We're in the southern USA so there's plenty of racist history to go around. Or maybe he had a bad experience there and never got over it. Either way I've dealt with one person crying racism for no reason and would rather avoid doing so again.

The problem with this approach is that delivery guys will not be able to call me.

No real people but probably over 100 scammers.
I have it set so that any number I don't have saved goes to voicemail. If they don't leave a message they get blocked.

You can just switch the setting off if you’re expecting a delivery, then back on afterwards. Have to do it now and then for the reason you mentioned.

Blocked mine just yesterday lol
Most of my blocked numbers are scammers. I have an out of state number so I know when it’s spam or local anyway

How do I see on an iPhone?
Edit: found it, 13 but all were random texts that were clearly a random scam.

People I know. None.
Spam/robo call numbers. Probably 100. Not sure.
The worst spam callers are hospital lotteries. I'm not sure how they do it, but they got a way of going direct to my voice mail leaving a spam message. The number doesn't even show up on my Recent called list, so I cant even block the number.
