I hate talking to answering machines and usually hang up
when I get one. I think it's because they're so hard to talk to
-
they just don't give you any help. There should be a
machine
that listens for pauses whilst it records and gives reassuring
'mmheh' type noises of the kind that real
people give to
show
they're listening and that you're making sense.

If you structure the message right then you'll find people thinks it's a real person. Then they get really upset. |

I used to have a greeting that sounded, like, well ... a greeting
Yell-o - Hey! What's goin' on? - (Beep) |

My stepson's voicemail message used to be:-
"Hello, Mike here. |
|
| |
Sorry, can't talk now, leave a message." |

Me, I don't have an answering machine. If I did, I'd like a version of this idea that detected mumbling and hesitancy and then said in a barely-restrained tone "Put the phone down, think about what you want to say , call again, then say it". |
