Hi everyone

I just had to repost this from an email Kathie Thomas sent to the Virtual Assistants Forum a couple of weeks ago. How many of these can you relate to hearing before?

• The Marathon Message: The extremely long voicemail that never ends.
• The Death March: Leaving a phone number at the end of a long voicemail. If you missed it, you then have to listen to the entire message again just to get the phone number.
• The Screaming Eagle: The voicemail left in a noisy bar or as a fire truck is passing by.
• The Drunken Dispatch: The drunk dial voicemail.
• Voicemail Interruptus: As the person is leaving the voicemail, they stop in the middle to have a conversation with someone else or answer another call before they return to finish the message.
• The Misguided Message: A person or telemarketer leaves a message for you that was actually intended for someone else.
• Voicemail Incognito: The anonymous voicemail.
• One Way Wonder: When the person thinks they are speaking to you when they are actually talking to your voicemail.
• The Pocket Dialer: The person that accidentally calls you because the phone is in their pocket or bag and isn’t locked, leading to an endless soundtrack of them walking down the street, driving or having a conversation with someone else.
• And, worst of all, the person who rattles off their telephone number at lightening speed, causing you to have to repeatedly go back over the entire message to try and decipher the digits.
