As you all know, my answering machine messages are very different from the usual. I have received mostly all compliments from these, with the occasional complaint that it sounds familiar, or it's a couple days past due. But a mistake message made me play it back over and over again b/c i couldn't believe my ears. Apparently a telemarketer didn't, or did, i don't really know, was speaking to somebody else when it start to record. The message he left was....and i quote, "that guy needs a life". I didn't think i heard it correctly the first time b/c it was very soft and low. After replaying it over and over I'm sure that's what was said. I try to make things interesting and outta the norm and actually started doing this b/c of a routine the late and great George Carlin did one night about answering machine messages. I have done this now for at least two years and kinda take pride in them. I hope you all enjoy them and maybe get a laugh or at least a smile from them. I love my life, my family, and my friends, and find it very rude for someone who is trying to sell me something be like that. I wonder if i would've answered mid-way between the message if he would've spoke his mind then??? I think we all know the answer to that one.

That is hilarious that they were caught on tape. I love your messages...keep it up!
Okay let's put this into perspective....This guy is a telemarketer calling strangers to sell some item or service,etc... and he sat through the entire message and didn't leave a sales message but yet was intrigued to listen - I think the fact that he wanted to hear the message says enough! Kudos to you for continuing the messages especially when it gets hard to find something to say!
I think the message are awesome! Definitely keep them up! :)
