- tj111, on 09/17/2009, -1/+32I'm #1. I dunno what it is about it, but I hate checking my voicemail. Most of the time it's just people going "hey, call me back" anyway, so I rarely miss out on anything, especially since I usually just call the person back when I see I missed a call. Maybe it's because the interface is crappy (why can't I delete or restart a voicemail before I listened to the whole stupid thing (esp true for the people who leave 5 min messages), Verizon?), maybe it's because I don't think everyone should have unfettered access to my life 24/7 (yes, I'm ignoring you and your message because I'm out with friends/family or just don't want to talk to you), but whatever it is I'm just not a big fan of voicemail.
- kylescousin, on 09/17/2009, -0/+27To all of those rooster types: It's not because you think getting up really early is the only good way, that others have to share this opinion! Stop calling people early morning, unless you got something really important to say!
- Fhwqhgads, on 09/17/2009, -1/+23All of them?
- S7aind, on 09/17/2009, -2/+19Voicemails are obsolete now that we have texting.
- joenuck89, on 09/17/2009, -0/+16Where's the person who calls you because they're somewhere by themselves and don't really want to talk to you, but want to seem like they have friends?
- everett3, on 09/18/2009, -2/+17*****. Voicemail.
- KennethADreyer, on 09/17/2009, -0/+14Where is that pick-up artist guy with all that confident? He deserves to be in here. He was hilarious.
- Subduction, on 09/18/2009, -0/+14I would add the person who you're supposed to meet at 7:00 who calls at 6:55 with:
"Hey, so are you close?"
"I'm about five minutes away."
"Okay, we're here already."
"Great, I'll be there in five minutes."
"Okay, where are you now?"
"I just got out of the subway."
"Oh, that's only a few minutes away."
"Yeah, about five actually."
"Wow, this place is more crowded than I thou..."
Which is about the point I hang up on them. - Torsion, on 09/18/2009, -1/+13***** Voicemail
- stompk291, on 09/17/2009, -0/+12or the guy who's driving on a long trip and wants you to help him kill a couple hours.
- GregR, on 09/18/2009, -0/+9They missed the one that annoys me the most. They call my number by accident...
Me: Hello.
Them: Who's this?
Me: You called me...
Them: Who is this?
Me: You called, so let's start with you identifying yourself.
Them: No, seriously, who is this?
Me: Goodbye. (Click)
Thanks for wasting my cell time, that I paid for, to hear you demand to know who they are speaking to.
Why the do it: Too stupid to get the number right the first time. - poppacherry, on 09/17/2009, -0/+8I've worked with people that fit every one of these types, especially #10 and #1.
#6 irritates the ***** out of me, because like the article said, the caller isn't smart enough to realize they literally JUST called you!
Man, now I'm fired up - ennuisquared, on 09/17/2009, -0/+8What about people who text you to do a Google search for "incontinent student bodies" and "spy kids rule 34" 500 times?
- WoollyMittens, on 09/18/2009, -0/+6They forgot to list the rude bastards who seize up halfway through a conversation to answer their phone and leave you hanging for half an hour.
My boss does that right next to my desk. "No no... you're not interrupting. I was just talking to so-and-so. No... nobody important." - lostngone, on 09/18/2009, -0/+6How about the people that think it is still 1885 and think they need to yell into the phone for you to hear them...
- wonko33, on 09/18/2009, -0/+6The guy that calls you but is having another conversation or is in the middle of something when he does.
- elenaadamscom, on 09/18/2009, -0/+5I still find it so weird that you have to pay to receive calls in America (not the case in Australia). So it makes me so mad when the Rambler gets through to me, wastes my time and money, and still has nothing to say.
- shiftkgb, on 09/18/2009, -1/+6I just delete voicemails dont even listen to them. I mean if I dont answer you can just hang up, my phone tells me who you are.
- inactive, on 09/18/2009, -1/+6the jackass who leaves a trail of death and destruction behind him as he drives around yakking on his cell phone completely oblivious to traffic.
- beagle42, on 09/18/2009, -0/+4Dugg for the Rooster.
*****, I'm lazy. - mizzrym, on 09/18/2009, -1/+5Its the same for damn near every company. 7 and 1. learn it. And yes, to the OP, you CAN, delete the message before it is finished. PUSH SEVEN!!
retard - nshady, on 09/18/2009, -0/+3Honestly, this was a pretty bad Cracked article.
- GMofOLC, on 09/18/2009, -1/+4This list blew.
- zeabu, on 09/17/2009, -1/+4I'm positive on 2, 9 and 10.
- RolandReeve, on 09/18/2009, -0/+3Roosters!
Early in the morning is before 2pm don't call before! :P
Thank you, that is all
Oh and stop leaving a voice-mail if you have nothing to say...
AND text is useful especially if you are in an area that is not suitable for talking - Ajajadude, on 09/18/2009, -0/+2My Grandma is the "rambler," god bless her soul.
And my parents are the dammed rooster... - HurricaneDC, on 09/18/2009, -0/+2Oh god I hate the number blocker. Sometimes I wanna join the NSA just so I can screen those calls, find the number/caller, then answer with "Hi Jim" or whatever.
- palmer, on 09/18/2009, -0/+2Where are the morons who think that you should hold the entire phone like a microphone in front of your face and talk at it instead of putting it up to your ear?
And an even more irritating variation: The person who thinks that holding your phone in front of your face like a sandwich and yelling at it constitutes "hands free" for driving. - ChaotikBlu, on 09/18/2009, -0/+2I'm #9. I'll talk when it's convenient for me; yea, I'm a douche.
- DiggMeUpPlz, on 09/18/2009, -2/+4The guy who grabbed the phone out of my hand to make that call "I'll let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time!"
. - toshirou, on 09/18/2009, -0/+2The Rooster was frickin hilarious!!! So true!
- NickFrenzy, on 09/18/2009, -0/+2http://imgur.com/bhGyG.jpg
- orientis, on 09/18/2009, -1/+2I was at my sister's house the other week. This chick came over, a friend of a flatmate. She proceeds to sit in front of a laptop, put her iphone down on the keyboard, then have an on-speaker conversation with someone through the phone. Like, sitting over the phone talking down into it, for no ***** reason whatsoever.
- palmer, on 09/18/2009, -0/+1All that confident? You mean "confidence"?
- FlameMage, on 09/18/2009, -0/+1Aint found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stinging sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere
Here they come to snuff the rooster
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he aint gonna die
No, no, no, ya know he aint gonna die
Dear Rooster, while you were up for 4 hours doing *****, I was sleeping.
And while you went to bed 4 hours before I did to sleep, I was doing *****.
How are you better? ***** - antdude, on 09/18/2009, -0/+1But I still use an answer machine. At least companies don't have my messages. ;)
- inactive, on 09/18/2009, -0/+1my father is cryptic messenger. his voicemail has been the same for YEARS. He also tells people who it is even when he calls cell phones
"Hey, call me back" - Goombellaofgoom, on 09/18/2009, -0/+1I know somebody who qualifies for 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10. But I still have to pick up because they're a coworker and they might need something important.
- rogeris, on 09/18/2009, -0/+1My g/f texts me nonstop and then when my phone can't handle the huge amount of incoming and outgoing texts it stops the outgoing ones and then sends them all at once to which my g/f requests an explanation for all my texts....this is the point where I hit my magic green button
- MairaS01, on 09/18/2009, -0/+0I'll rate 3rd and 10th.
- happycow, on 09/18/2009, -0/+0also the ones in which the caller does not know how to speak english.... and if you hang up on them they just call back with a Louder voice....
- johndoesovich, on 09/18/2009, -1/+0i hate voicemail and have contemplated having at&t remove my voicemail altogether because people insist on leaving me messages even though i tell them i don't check it.
what's more annoying is the person calling, leaving a voicemail and then texting to the same thing their voicemail said.
they should have broadcast texter on there - i love my pops but for whatever reason he frequently broadcasts texts out to his contact list. most of the time it has to do with work stuff. sometimes it's about an issue with an employee who i assume is a recipient of that message as well.
thank god he hasn't broadcast any pervy messages to my mom because that would just be wrong. - palmer, on 09/18/2009, -3/+1Another phone-company shill heard from.
Or wait, see #1. - banmeagaindigg, on 09/18/2009, -4/+2To all you voice-mail 'haters' I think its pretty ***** pathetic that you've come to a place in life where taking 2 mins to actually listen to a voice mail is considered cumbersome. Texting is 90% more retarded and ridiculous and while i'll agree that voice mail interfaces could be fixed a little you're attention spans and demand for information NOW NOW NOW is symptomatic of a terrible direction our society is going in.
- skyez0r, on 09/18/2009, -3/+1FTA: "You just got up? I don't know how you do it, man, I've already been up for four hours; I worked out, made breakfast, did some light reading, cleaned my apartment and smelled my own *****. There's just not enough time in the day, you know?"
- Confdence, on 09/18/2009, -4/+2Nobody should leave voice mails. It is a pain in the ass to check and you already know what the voice mail is. It is always "Hey want to go do X?" Substitute X for what you do with that person and you're all set. X is 95% of the time related to drugs, booze or chasing tail. The other 5% of the time should be used for texts.
