Why does this need to exist on every voicemail? Everyone knows it. All it does is take up time and annoy the crap out of everyone who wants to leave a quick voicemail. 

Shame on phone companies and their stupid arcane system. What is even worse is when they spell out the entire friggin’ phone number. We get it. We dialed the number. 

There needs to be a skip or fast forward button to go straight to the beep. 

You know how the media jumps on the “MARCH MADNESS BRINGS DOWN THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES’ WORK FORCE PRODUCTIVITY” and run with those headlines as if everyone forgot it from last year? Well this is worse. These simple voicemail robotic nusiances take up 20 seconds of your day for all the thousands of times you have waited for it. 

This is why we are in a recession. 

My exact thoughts every time I need to leave someone a voice mail. Exact thoughts.
