Message Machines

You know what consistently erks me...how long have message machines become. Not only do I have to listen to your personal message "hey this is so and so phone leave a message after the beep," but then on top of that I have to hear "if you would like to leave a message press one, or stay on the line, if you would like to page this person press 2" then I have to wait another ten seconds before the beep comes.This elongated process has completly stop me from leaving messages. I like the good old days when it went personal message then beep. I do really like the fact that I can go back and check out what I said. In the past if you leave a silly message on someones phone you were stuck but now I can go back and change my message which is crucial for important calls.....

we all remember this classic moment in phone message history.

  1. I feel your pain. And people lament over our dependency on text messaging, as if we're avoiding social contact, but really I rely on texts when I don't want to leave a message because I have no patience to deal with a stupid automated voice.
