You ever wonder why an answering machine would say, “You have reached 513-911-0288, we’re not home right now so just leave us a message”?
That never really helps me. I know the number I’ve reached because I just called it. If I wasn’t sure, I could just hit redial.
I’m also not a fan of the robot answering machines. I always end up leaving a half hearted message, the whole time wondering if I have the wrong number for this person.
How about this one – the phone rings five times, there’s a fifteen second message – then a robot comes on and tells you to hit a button to page the person – hit another button to hang up – hit a third option if you’d like to leave a message – and the whole time you’re just waiting for the beep.
The beep is all we’re really waiting for.
A decent message might be, “it’s me – Sean – BEEP”
I think people would figure that out. Maybe I’ll go re-record my messages.
