“At the tone, please record your message….”

“….When you have finished recording, you may hang up or press 1 for more options. To leave a call back number, press 5”.

At my job I deal with a lot of older people who don’t text, so I have to call them with appointment reminders and some days I think more of my day is spent listening to that recording message than actually speaking with the customers. It’s even worse when they have their own custom voicemail greeting but we still have to listen to the automated one too.

Make it stop please 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m pretty sure we all know how to use voicemail at this point.
