How many times have you called someone, got their voicemail, been

to leave your mesage at the beep, you get something like this: At the
tone, please leave your message. When you've finished recording, you
may hang up or press 1 for more options. To leave a callback number,
press 5.


ARRRGGGHHH!!! I go through the same *** too! My greeting is simply
"please leave a message". I also find it ultra annoying when people
make
megalong greetings full of fluff, rock and roll music, or *** like
that, not to mention
it *EATS UP CELL PHONE TIME*.

It also makes callers think twice about calling and leaving messages at all
unless it's something really important.

Which is exactly why I have a long, drawn out and rather hostile greeting on
my VM.

Something that's getting lost here is the the VM doesn't belong to you - it
belongs to the guy you're calling and just like any other appliance in his
home, he purchased it for his convenience, not for the convenience of
others.
