6. You might as well say "Post here if you breathe on a regular basis"
although I'll confess it's been about a decade since I've last left one of those

14. Welcome to DU!
You forgot "Hi, it's me," which is always said when I have no fucking clue who the person is.

20. I try to avoid it, when possible.
Breathing is a waste of my precious effort.

16. Yes, one time, I meant to call my husband and speed dialed my
grandparents' home instead...Being busy with a new baby I wasn't paying attention to the voice message and left a message that we should just say that I shouldn't have. :hi:

25. I sure to GOD hope not. I ran away for a bit today...and only snuck
Edited on Mon Feb-13-06 10:55 PM by MrsGrumpy
back in a while ago.

I am, I fear, obnoxious. I'm trying to take a post "Stars upon Thars" Sneetch attitude about it. :blush:

Although, on edit: I have never felt quite so loved as I do today. And I owe it all to a bunch of little gifs... and the people behind them.

22. Yeah
Well at least they would have been to most people who heard them... I've left a few to close friends with lots of nicknames and inside jokes and assorted rambling that were (I think) understandable to their intended recipients but wouldn't have been to anyone else!

I've received a handful of incoherent, nonsensical phone messages as well. I think they were from wrong numbers. At least I hope so...

31. Last time I was sick, I left a doosy (sp?) at work
I left it at about 2am, because I knew I wouldn't be able to make it. I rambled like crazy. When I tried to leave my telephone number, I couldn't get it right. I kept mixing parts of various phone numbers. Eventually, I gave up. Apparently, they all gathered around at work to listen and laugh at the message. They thought I might be drunk.

34. All the time!
Sometimes I would just yell incoherently. Sometimes I would say things like "No, mommy! Don't hurt me!" and hang up. I think the most bizarre one I left was "Do you happen to know the average total length of the human digestive system? We're trying to calculate Average Spaghetti Velocity for someone. Call me back if you know."
