Voicemail messages

[Sharky]

I get a lot of missed call notifications however.

missed call scam

 

[Tone deaf]

I had Verizon turn off my voicemail over a decade ago. Haven't missed it.

My son has learned from me. He has had a phone for about 6 years. He has never once set up his voicemail box. You call him and you get "This user has not set up a voicemail box..." message. I text him. I get an immediate response. Same with my girls. Over the last 20 years, I have never left a voicemail for my ex or any of my kids. "Missed call from Dad (or "asshole" in the case of my ex)" is all they need to know.

Whenever I call Victor and it goes to message, I get this Brooklyn-ese chick right out of Laverne and Shirley.

Who's plot was based in Milwaukee, but spoke with a Brooklyn accent.

"Yoah coll has bin fahwaded"..

I don’t know what you’re talking about, I don’t hear an accent there...

I had a really cool one that has become legend with my friends from back in the mid 80's. I used I used a small black 70's tape recorder w/ piano key controls and recorder a few funny messages to me that my friends had left in my message cue.

One was a message from my best friends fiance that went; Ken, Rick, where are you? You better not be at Burger King! Call me back!

The next message I recorded was from another friend that said something funny I can't remember and the third was another funny one.

So, with these three stored in the order I wanted them to play in.

Then I composed the out going message to sound like a radio personality with a show called "What's your Beef"

I started the outbound saying. This is WMUR with "What's you Beef" you're on the air! Then I played back my friend's fiance's message and stopped it before the second message played and spoke " Must be a wrong number" "Next" and so on. I'm sure you get the drift of it.

Then I called Rick and a few other people who called me to listen to it and they cracked up. Unfortunately, my friend's fiance was one who heard it and she called me back and told me to take it down this minute. Lol, she was pissed. It was so good we still talk about it today when ever we get together.

It was only heard by 5 or 6 people and it only lived for 30 minutes but it was a gem Love those guys!!

Thats you all over Ken.

I just let the automated voicemail do it for me.

Posts 10, 11 and 12 do it for me...

Yeah, mine is just the robot lady saying, "You have reached 202-etc." Next time I bother checking I'll probably have about forty "new" messages I haven't gotten around to deleting.

 

[Harmony]

The last one I got was a woman saying I was going to jail for unpaid debt. She didn't say when they were coming to get me though. Still waiting.

I apparently need to call them back to avoid prosecution. I'm gonna call back and have some fun with them when I feel the mood. I think I'll be my game persona "Joe Friday" when I call. If I could only shoot them through the phone I would. Jackass scammers!

Yeah I have had several of those messages left on my phone this past week. 4 in one day. IRS apparently.
My friend was thinking of calling them back for me and ask for a reward if she hands me in to them.

Yours should be..

Everything you say from now, can be and will be used to determine whether I return your call

I saw a Youtube video once, some moron tried that but didn't know he'd called The Police Department

My brother has the worlds most annoying voice mail message and has for years, it's a parody of the coca cola jingle rewritten to be about missing calls.

I'm not sure how I did it anymore, this was a few years ago, but I managed to call him twice in tandem and record his voicemail greeting as my voicemail message to him. He told me later he checked and rechecked that message a half dozen times thinking something was screwed up with his voicemail .

I hate leaving voice mails and I don’t even really check mine except if it’s family. I also hate being on speaker phone when people pick up right away. i can tell by the ambient noise and I have to ask if I’m on if I have sensitive stuff to talk about. So now if I need to check if I’m on speaker I’ll just start by saying really loudly, “ Hey (insert name), remember when you told me you went to Vegas and picked up that girl and you found out later it was a guy?!”. If they aren’t alone on the room they take me
off speaker right away. You can also leave that message on your buddies voice mail for their wives to listen to as well. Laughs ensue.........sometimes.

My absolute pet peeve is being on speaker phone. I tell them to take me off, if for some reason they don't right away, I just tell tell them real quick to call me back later and hang up.

Speakerphone I can understand. Distractedness irks the shit out of me -- just let me know whens a better time to call.

I use speakerphone all the time if I'm the only one in the room.

If there's people around, no,..that's kind of rude it seems. They don't want to hear it and the person on the phone doesn't want to be heard.
