Today, the phone rang. Using the caller ID, Mish-mash mousse noticed it was an unfamiliar out-of-state number. (Being that the people who had our phone # before us are still using it to fraudulently to run up all sorts of crazy credit card charges, we recorded a message to let people know we are not "the Campolietos.")
RECORDING: Hello, and thank you for calling the Incredulous family. The Incredulous family is not at home, so if you'd like to leave a message for the Incredulouses, please do so after the beep. If you are not calling for the Incredulouses, you have the wrong number, but please feel free to leave your message if you ARE trying to reach the Incredulous family. *beep!*
MESSAGE, enthusiastic voice: Hi! It's me, Linda! How are you guys? I'm not trying to reach the Incredulouses, so sorry to bother you! *click*
Well, at least she was polite and good-natured about it, but if you got an answering machine message, and it was someone other than who you're looking to speak to, wouldn't you just hang up?
Thanks for the chuckle, Linda, all the same.
