You know what really grinds my gears?

When an individual's voicemail is music. You know who you are with that ridiculous Mariah Carey song on your answering machine. Mariah's voice pierces through the static/fuzz and travels directly into my eardrum, and stays there.
Ridiculous.
Or when it rings...and rings
"Hello?"
Me: Hey! Its Jess..."Kidding...leave a message" ...ica...i'm dumb.
This is reverse creativity at its finest... It was something that maybe was funny the first time some very funny person decided to do it 5 years ago. Now, it is so overdone, that it is ...Reverse creativity. Or mooched creativity.

Listen to me, a voicemail message just needs to tell me I called the correct number. I also know to talk at the beep. Trying to use your voicemail as a creative muse is just going to give others something to mock.

You know what I find worse than voice mail ? When your phone rings and you pick it up only to hear a recorded message flogging some product.

Hey, if you can't be bothered putting a live human being on the line then I can't be bothered listening to your spiel !
