 Posted: 01/21/03 - 10:50 Post subject: Answering Machine Messages II
If you could leave any message without offending or making your family think you're weird or crazy (or confirming said feelings), what would it be?
Also, how would you answer the phone if you're home?
When we lived at home my brothers & I'd answer it all different crazy ways until my parents had had enough. Like, "It's your dime." Or "City Morgue; you stab 'em, we slab 'em".

My first job out of college I worked in a hospital assigning patients to specific floors, all calls I received were inter-hospital calls
So I would answer by saying things like.
"Bed Assignment- Home of the Bottomless Cup of Coffee"
"Bed Assignment- Home of the World's Largest Pancakes"
tried to do different things every once in awhile

I need that one for my sisters. Some of their messages are so long they sound like they actually think they are talking to someone....
of course I get the same story again when I call back

Oh, you should hear the messages we get from my mother in law, and my sister in law! Wow!
Revenge factor: my wife does the same thing.
I'll come in from outside and she'll be talking on the phone for 5 minutes, then hang up and say, I just left a message for _______". :!:
