Has this ever happened in the history of email?
"When you are finished recording, you may hang up, or press star for more options. (pause) To leave a numeric page, press pound. (pause) *boop*"

The first one is just insulting legalese that I barely notice, but the second actively wastes my time every time I leave a voice mail for practically anyone. I hate it!

The latter has always made me go Wha? Isn't one of the wonders of cellphones that they record the number of incoming calls? And if you-the-caller have your number kept private, then wouldn't you automatically know "hey maybe I should LEAVE A MESSAGE"? But I've used that option (leave a numeric page) once or twice, just for the novelty of it (Hey what does this do?).
