    @SanchaliLazork: He's got a certain sex appeal when he's not speaking - but I think he cries after sex.

    Voicemail is like telemarketing. You know when someone calls you and says, "Hi. Is this John Smith?" that it's a telemarketer, and you really never need to know what this person wants. The same can be said for the dolt who leaves you a voicemail. They obviously aren't in your inner circle enough to have your cell phone number or email address. Hell, you only have a home phone to weed out these jokers, and to find out how late you really are on your IO Digital cable bill.

    I had tech disable my voicemail a while back. Bliss. I had approximated the effect previously by just letting it fill to the brim, which takes roughly a day.

    I just want to urgently warn all of you that the warranty on your vehicle is about to expire. That's what voicemail seems to be for these days, to tell me this every single fucking day.


    But my Duesenberg's warranty expired around the time WW II did. Zing!, you horrid fuckers calling me unbidden.

    People arbitrarily deciding that they will only choose one method of communication IN THE WORKPLACE are lazy, entitled assholes. Hey, guess what.....there really are reasons for leaving voice mails and having actual telephonic voice communications with other humans. How are companies just allowing their employees to just hide behind email , text and Twitter? Interact however you want on your own time but in the office this is b.s.

    My company automatically forwards every phone message I receive as an audio file attachment into my e-mail box.


    So i just click and listen to my phone messages in Outlook, along with reading my e-mail messages. It's actually pretty cool.

    @Mary Mouse: Maybe we don't have the same system? Because my company didn't make us go to any seminars. They just activated it. One day my phone messages started showing up in my e-mail box. I didn't have to do anything.


    I was like, Yay! No more dialing in to check my phone-mail every hour! (I work from home.)


    @skahammer: @thatonegirlsays: No, I don't work for Microsoft, nor Screw. My company is somewhere in between those two.

    @leonleonleon:yeah, this is the only reason to have voice mail, if someone you hopelessly adore but is too far away to get the drift of Chanel 19 leaves you a crazy message you can save for years, such as family saying 'hi am at top of empire state bldg' or 'happy new year from hong kong' or happy birthday i miss you, those are irresistible. the most touching ones are from people who are dead and you will never hear their voice again ever. so it has some uses.

    I'm pretty sure voicemail exists because of women like my mom. My mother refuses to send e-mail or text me about important things (she will forward me oddly formatted e-mails and send me NYTimes articles about single women, cupcakes and single women and cupcakes) and instead leaves me these voicemails of epic length. They usually end mid-sentence because the voicemail dealy bob cuts her off.
