Conversation this morning when I answered the phone at work:
me: Good Morning, Joseph Wong Desgin
Guy: Is Bert in this morning?
me: I am sorry, Bert has not come in yet this morning. Would you like his Voice mail?
Guy: Yes, So I can leave a message for him to call me.
me: One moment please
In my head: Uh Yeah dude. That is kinda what Voice Mails are for.
Why do people insist on telling you they are going to leave a message for someone when you have just asked if they what to be transferred to Voice Mail. A simple yes would be okay. I already know that is what will happen. And furthermore why do people insist on telling you the reasons they are calling when they have already said they would like Voice Mail? Dude, I really have no need to know that. But thank you for taking forever to tell me that when you can clearly hear the phone ringing in the background.
