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*"
Has this ever happened in the history of telephony? As an alternative to leaving a voice message and then hanging up, I mean.
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!
