what is the worst vm greeting you've heard when making test call for a customer?

hello....hello....hey this is so-and-so...leave a message.

hey this is jane and joe. we can't come to the phone right now cause we're doin' it.

The ones that I find most ridiculous are the ones where the person pretends that they've answered the phone. Don't know how many custs I've called with that VM greeting. 🙄

hah, i like the ones where the cust makes sure to use the largest words possible:

"Salutations, you have been forwarded to my mobile communications voice messaging system. I am dreadfully sorry that I could not answer the phone, but i will assuredly respond to your summons with all due expediency"

👿 I hate the ones where theres this happy couple "Hi this is Jen", "and this is Jerry" (kissing cuddling whatever)"and we're not here to take your message blah, blah. You know the couple that sounds like they're about to be done in in a horror flick. Disgusting.Those VM's are so sickening 👿

It says "Sorry the number dialed is not in service please leave a message and I will consider calling you back."

You will be surprised how many people hang up on it its great. I hate voice mail.

The worst one i have ever experienced was a lady that sang for almost three minutes. That was the most tramatic moment in my life as a csr. She sound like a cat getting skinned for 3 whole minutes I mean you would think her friends would tell her how horrible it was. I really wish they did.

Still petrefied and this was 4 mnths ago

Personally, I hate the loud blaring rap music that blasts for 20-30 seconds.
You can barely hear the music, it's just loud and annoying. I have heard one or two out of about 50 that actually sounded decent. Now, if it was decent sounding, and music I liked, maybe I wouldn't mind so much. But it's ALWAYS rap! Pisses me off!

A few years ago, I was trying to contact a guy I wanted to interview for a job where I worked. He wasnt home, and his answering machine message went something like this: (overlay appropriate porn music) "You've reached 1-800-HOTTALK, the HOTTEST sex line available." I forget the rest of the message, but it went on along those lines for at least 2 minutes before telling me to leave a message for Gary. Funniest thing I ever heard, I could barely get my message out cause I was laughing so hard. Oh, and he ended up getting the job too.
