Inspired by tjmw2727 . . . do you have an answering machine?

[Maleficent13]

Mine is just a standard system greeting, but I know someone who's message is, "I'm not here. Leave a message." I asked him about it once and he said, "what else is there to say?".

I guess he has a point! LOVE the Clint Eastwood one!!

Another one we used was at Halloween. DH recorded in a very low grim voice:

"Oh dear. Not here.. Never fear.. The BEEP is near... whhhhooooaaaahhhahhhaahhhhhhhhaaaaaa..."

An old man who was calling about a lawnmower we were selling cussed us out for that one. Guess it scared him.

But my all time favorite, and I know that EVERYONE hates these-I do too-was when DS2 (at the time) sang "Jingle Bells" at Christmas time. I loved it so much, and I couldn't figure out how to copy it, so it took me until July to finally erase it. It broke my heart!!

Ours now is an overly cheerful me saying "Hi you've reached Christina and Derek. We are unable to take your call at the moment but if you please leave your name, telephone number and a brief message we'll get back to you as soon as possible."

My dad always said the exact same thing execpt he would say "Hi you have reached (phone number)".... and the rest I said!!

My little brother says "Hi, you've reached Brad. Leave one"

We have a pretty generic greeting. "You have reached xxx-xxxx. Please leave a message after the beep".

Our son has the android, too.

I really like the Clint Eastwood and the Halloween one! I would get laughing listening to it and probably the machine would shut off before I could start talking!

I have one, my voice is on it with a very basic message. Nothing special.

Basic message, answering machine 101 stuff. No fluff.
