'Stupidest' Answering Machine Message

It's an answering machine folks.

Sure, sometimes you screen.

But sometimes you are really not there, hence the idea of an 'answering machine.'

So when a business called --a harassing business --and left this message, I had to play it again because I could not believe my ears as well as not understanding a word of what was said the first time.

The gist of it said something like this:

"If this is the ________ residence, and you are ________, it is very important that we speak with you. We are (talking faster than I can even understand what the heck they are saying) and we can be reached at X-XXX-XXX-XXXX.

Since you are still on the line and have not hung up the phone yet, I assume that this is the __________ residence...."


People--we have not hung up the phone because we are not home and are not even hearing this phone message until 7 hours after the message was left.

Since you are still on the line and have not hung up the phone yet? Youhavegottobe_ittingme!
