Phone: "When you are finished recording hang up."
Elise: Oh, is that what you do?
Phone: "Or for delivery options press pound."
Elise: Delivery?! What am I going to deliver over the phone?

Elise:......uh....
Phone: "For movie times, press 3.
If you want to purchase livestock, please press 4."
To vote for your favorite contestant, press 5.

but no one is going to answer.
To listen to a very boring political speech, press 7.

or press 1 to hear your options again.
You may now start your message."
*Beep*......
Elise: Curse you, phone company!!!


Ok, so this doesn't exactly happen like this every time. But it comes close! It takes five minutes just to leave a freaking message on someones phone! And who actually even uses those other options?! What is this world coming to?
