Voicemail is a tricky one; niether I, nor any of my friends ever check it, so I hang up be default the second I hear an answerphone, generally on the basis that I'll call back later.
I generally prefer to call rather than text, and then prefer to send a text rather than leave voicemail. It works well enough.
I, too, just let the phone go to the ansering machine 95% of the time--because 99% of the time it's for my wife anyway, and I'll just screw up the message.
On those occasions that I *do* answer and it's a telemarketer looking for me, I just tell them "sorry, he's busy masturbating right now. Would you like to hold? I'm sure he'll be done soon."
They've always declined, so far. I guess if one ever calls me on it I'll go put some porn on the TV and crank the volume real loud to entertain them.
“Why the fuck would you ... ?” is like 80% of the conversation with Poly — Chimpy
Tonight was the perfect example. I sold a car to this guy a few months back. He called me tonight. Four different times. He left voicemail twice. And all he had to do was say maybe 10s worth of dialog to get the point across, but he tends to ramble on and on and on forever. THIS is why I don't answer the phone.
