Dear Cincinnati Bell,
Normally we text each other but for some reason I decided to call my husband today to discuss dinner since I was very late leaving work. Imagine my surprise when I called home and got voice mail.
Being that I never recorded an answering machine greeting, it's a strange male-like voice that should have answered. Once I received a female greeting, I knew something was up. I've never used your voice mail service, and honestly have no idea how to even retrieve messages from it.
I suppose I should call you and complain about my phone being out, since I am paying you fuckers after all. It has been strangely peaceful the last few evenings, with no one calling me to ask for money that I don't have to give. Maybe I don't need a land line after all, thanks for the great service!

I'm sure they'll be thrilled to know that they're error has made you realize you don't really need them. Land lines are overrated.
ReplyDeleteI only have a landline so that I can call 911 and not be put on hold (yes, that happens in L.A.) I never answer it b/c i know it has to be a telemarketer and they literally make me nuts
ReplyDeleteI hate voice mail too, sucks when I need to use my fax, and can't! We did not want it either, but evidently it came with the 'Package'...
ReplyDeleteI turn my cell phone off for days at a time. The sweet sound of silence.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, I recieved a phone call from a bank, that asked if I was the DeYoung in charge of McCormack Place in Chicago.. With sense of humor intact, I asked her if I was- why was I sitting in my robe in Grand Rapids, MI on a Monday morning? She seemed to find the humor in the situation too...
ReplyDeleteI am going to cancel my landline phone and I am so happy to do so. All I get is telemarketers and other organizations asking for money. Believe me I don't have any money.
ReplyDeleteVoicemail is okay, but I loathe call waiting. What better way to tell the person your talking to, "hold on, I may have someone more interesting on the other line"?
ReplyDeleteLook, I love you and feel your pain but I am pissing myself laughing :)))
