I hate talking to answering machines and usually hang up
when I get one. I think it's because they're so hard to talk to
-
they just don't give you any help. There should be a
machine
that listens for pauses whilst it records and gives reassuring
'mmheh' type noises of the kind that real
people give to
show
they're listening and that you're making sense.

I used to have a greeting that sounded, like, well ... a greeting
Yell-o - Hey! What's goin' on? - (Beep) |
|

My stepson's voicemail message used to be:-
"Hello, Mike here. |
|
| |
Sorry, can't talk now, leave a message." |

Me, I don't have an answering machine. If I did, I'd like a version of this idea that detected mumbling and hesitancy and then said in a barely-restrained tone "Put the phone down, think about what you want to say , call again, then say it". |
