when you call someone and get their voicemail and they have this real long message telling you what to do and when to do it? As if we don't know how to leave a mesage on an answering machine yet! Please leave your answer after the BEEP!

I mean...don't we know by now how to leave a message on an answering machine without explicit instructions?

I was just thinking that the other day. It's that stock set of instructions in a woman's voice. I just say "Sorry I'm not here, please leave a message."

thisis what i do. when that ^%$$^%$ machine picks up i hang up. today most people either have caller id on their cell or on their land line phones. they get the message that i called with all of the info that they requested. if i have something urgent to say then i leave a message otherwise no.
also if they are on thier cell i just txt and when they reply i call. doesnt cost me any mins.

*mental note change greeting on voicemail** I also hate it when I call and the person will say, Hello..(pause) as soon as I start to say something and the person is like HelLoO and I am like I am here and it will keep going like this until finally the message is Im just messing with you I am not here so please your message...

Not really. I wait till the end only if I have something important to say. Otherwise I just hang up.

that is definitely annoyin... but what is even more annoyin is when ppl have those voice mail things where they say, "hello?" (then there is a pause), "wait who is this?" (pause), "well i'm not here right now, leave me a message after the beep. bye."... you wind up talkin to it and feelin really stupid... :)

Yes, that's annoying.
I also hate it when they say, " hello", and then pause so you are thinking they actually picked up and you start talking away to them and they say, " hey got ya", leave a message.

No. I hate it more when they leave a song... and a crappy one at that... specially because I have to wait until it's over to leave the message.
