Lesson #4571
(Category:
)
If you really want people to think you're a moron, make sure the outgoing message on your voicemail is tacky.
For instance, say someone like uh, me, puts an ad in the paper for some used home appliances. You, incidentally, might be interested in said appliances; so you call the number in the ad and leave a message. I, in turn, call the number you leave in the message to contact you. Uh-oh. Guess what? You don't answer the phone! Bummer!
That's right, it goes straight to your voicemail. Which, unfortunately for the both of us, is a 50-Cent song that's so garbled and distorted that it's barely recognizeable. Instead of leaving you a message, I think to myself 'Man, that shit is retarded.' Click.

Heh, I once had an ogm that said "Hi, I'd like a large pepperoni pizza with extra anchovies and hot peppers.."
Yeah, I didn't get many messages either, most people got really confused and hung up. Or perhaps... they were just like you and said "Fuck this shit!"
Heh, well, I think I was 20 at the time.... a dumbass..
Or when people leave their outgoing message - like they're answering the phone. That really chaps my ass. OR even better yet....when they sing themselves. "Believe it or not I'm not home" from Seinfeld.
One time I called the number in an ad for a used car I was interested in buying. The ogm was "Hi! We're probably out driving around in our new Blazer or out on the lake on our new jetski so leave a message." I left one saying "Sounds like you're too busy to talk to me. Too bad. I wanted to buy your car."
