Answering machines. I HATE THEM.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Get a girl's number.

You already have enough agita about said girl before you call her.

You call.

And you get her answering machine.

So you try to sound smooth on the machine, you end up sounding awful, and then the worst part - I wasn't sure if I gave my phone number right. UGH AWFUL.

I need to drown in a bucket of hepatitis.

Did you call her like 10 times and then she called you back telling you to leave her the fuck alone?

its not answering machines that bother me...its caller id....usually if im calling a girl and i get the machine, i just hang up so i can call back later without seeming crazy. if you leave a message, you have to wait for her to call you back....the problem comes in when shes got caller id and saw that i called 26 times without leaving a message...

I hate when people use their answering machines as a screener.. so have to sit there and be like-i know your home just pick up the phone.. i hate when you do this screening shit... that is just fucking annoying... if i am near a phone i answer it. i hate waiting two rings for the caller id to work.. who cares.. if don't want to talk to you i will lie and say anything to get off the phone...simple as that.....

Give me a cartoon and i am happy....

Try to breathe some life into a letter
Losing hope, never gonna be together
My courage is at it's peak
You know what I mean
How do say you're O.K. to
An answering machine?
How do you say good night to
An answering machine?
Big town's got its losers
Small town's got its vices
A handful of friends
One needs a match, one needs some ice
Call-waiting phone in another time zone
How do you say I miss you to
An answering machine?
How do say good night to
An answering machine?

I get enough of that

Try to free a slave of ignorance
Try and teach a whore about romance

How do you say I miss you to
An answering machine?
How do you say good night to
An answering machine?
How do you say I'm lonely to
An answering machine?
The message is very plain
Oh, I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine
I hate your answering machine...

I LOVE answering machines...I look at them as a chance to perform. I sing into them, tell jokes, amusing anecdotes, etc. Give me your phone number, you'll see!

My parents refused to buy an answering machine, so I never had one until I went to college. I got used to having one, so it really sucked whn I went back home. I'd get back from being out, and would think to myself "Hmm, let me check my voice mail to see if my friends called...DOH!" That really blew.

I love caller ID, sometimes I don't feel like talking to someone, or if I'm sleeping I can check who's calling and answer depending if they are worth waking up for.

With the current state of technology, everyone is expecting to reach the person they call by the second ring. My answering machine is the catch-all. I have a cell and a pager (work issued). Only a select group of people outside of work have the pager number (people that I know won't page me for trivial stuff) and no one has the cell #. I use that for emergency calls and stuff like that. I try not to live on the phone, since I live on the net already.

[tricia]

i have 17 messages on my machine, they are either a, wrong number, some guy keeps calling about a painting job, or 2, a recording from at&t to call them back about this mysterious 900 # on my bill, like i should waste my time when they already fuked up. also, among the wrong #'s, some woman calling to thank her kid for a hanukah gift, it's bad enough you don't know your kid's number, but you don't recognise their voice either?????

[Poison Ivy]

I <font face=webdings color=red size=6> Y </font> my answering machine....I don't know what I'd do without it!! I hate talking on the phone lately so I 've been letting the machine get all my calls. I have about 20 messages on there I haven't even listened to lol

I've never owned one.

Nobody ever asks for my number anyway. =(

[Poison Ivy]

I just remembered this.......about 3 years ago I met a guy at an Islanders game. I went out with him once, we went to see the Isles play the Canucks at the colesiuem. I never talked to him again after that. About a month or so ago I get a call from this guy out of the blue one Monday and asked me if I wanted to hang out with him that Thursday. I told him I didn't know and to call me on Wednesday ....so he did.....17 times!!! I had forgotten to take my cell phone number off my message so he took turns calling both numbers. Finally I got so irritated I picked up the phone assked him what possessed him to call me 16 times and told him not to call again...he stopped. The next day he called 8 more times to apologize....fucking freak. Thank God he never called again after that. http://www.plauder-smilies.de/smash.gif

Alkey you don't even check your voice mail messages on your cell phone. You've even got people calling me to find you...why would you even bother with an answering machine??? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/eviltongue.gif

I love answering machines! I never answer the phone, I always screen. I only pick up if you're not an asshole.

thank God for answering machines...i hate talking on the phone to begin with, and this just helps me screen my calls

[FezNotRon]

Answering machines are okay, so long as they don't have those REALLY long intro messages. "This is FezNotRon...I'm not here now, or maybe I am but I didn't make it to the phone in time, or maybe I just don't want to talk to you or maybe I didn't hear the phone ring at all...anyway, please leave a message, including your name and number and the times at which you can be reached and I will get back to you as soon as possible...well, actually, that depends on why I missed your call. Obviously, if I didn't want to talk to you in the first place I won't be getting back to you...whatever the case, leave a message after the beep...no, not BEFORE the beep, which is what I know you were planning to do, you tool. After the beep."
