When I call someone and get an answering machine I leave a message letting them know the purpose of the call and ask them to please call me back. If I have no message I hang up before the beep so they don't end up having to erase a blank message. What I hate is when people call me and leave a message stating...demanding...that I call them. No reason why, just ...Bonnie, this is so and so, call me. Uh uh! I am not going to return that call! I want to know why I should call you. I figure if it was important you would have left a more detailed message. But to just demand a return call doesn't work. I am not curious enough to know why you want me to call. So, if you want a return call from me leave me a real message letting me know why I should call you back. Otherwise you will be waiting a long, long time for my return call.

Great post. I love telemarketers who think it is a good idea to ask for people by first name. I began to mess with the women ones who called for my husband by insinuating they are calling him for personal reasons. It's devilish, I know. But when you begin to imply an affair, they tell you who they are with very quickly. LOL.
Hey Bonnie, Call me. Love, Vic..
Funny, funny Victoria, but you're my sister so I would call you back.... eventually :-).
