Peter on Phones, Part 2

"there are some folks who just don’t get it. when the answering machine starts up and says, 'please leave a message after the beep…BEEEP' you can clearly hear the caller in the background talking to someone else, not hearing the message at all, and they then prove this by starting off with a joyfully giddy, 'hello?…hello?…HELLL-OH? *sigh* CLICK!' like i’m somehow the one at fault for their lack of ability to grasp the fucking situation? this, to me, should be punishable by death and death alone!"
