Surely if someone phones me & is greeted by a 'friendly' voicemail stating that I am busy just now, but will phone back as soon a possible, the most they would do is leave a message & wait for the call back
I have one or two clients that leave the message, then phone back two minutes later on a regular basis FFS

There are times I have to concentrate on a design or I may be driving (I never use the phone on the road) - I might even be 'taking the kids to the pool' :tut: - why bloody mither me when the voice mail says it all? :rant:

That is all....

I guess my rant is slightly different though - they do leave a message & still phone me back 2 minutes later

 

[Nev]

Nev - picture a long car journey - two kids in the back who start asking are we there yet? 5 minutes after you leave - this is then their mantra for the whole three hour journey <-- THAT is mither :lol:

I have never heard of it and I'm as north as you can get

 

[AlfaDrivingFan]

Maybe it's more specific than just up north, maybe it's a Lancashire thing ?

 

[Ricer]

Good rant, not fond of the

Missed calls: Joe Bloggs - 14 calls
Voicemail: 9 New messages
Texts: From Joe Bloggs "Jon, call me back"

scenario!

Also people who say in their voice message

"Hi Jon, just calling about blah blah blahdy blah ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz......... Blah (2 minutes of crap) . . . . anyway, I'll talk to you about it again when you call back"

Well why did you just leave a 3 minute message covering the subject in finite detail if you want me to call you back and expect me to listen to this rubbish again? Huh? Tell me?!!!!!

must be, more like a northwest thing, we have our own language up here:lol:

 

[paintergirl]

It's a northern word for sure - we use mither up here but as a verb rather than a noun.

Verb: mither mI-dhu(r)
Usage: UK, dialect

1. (north UK) to fuss, pester or annoy someone

Derived forms: mithers, mithered, mithering


:thumbs:



Back on topic: Yes, I get parents mithering me like that all the time.

What PG said......I understood Jon perfectly, despite him being a southerner from Manchester........:lol:

And I do empathise with your rant Jon....my variation being the people who ring you and spend 10 minutes explaining why they are going to be 15 minutes late.......

 

[Dermo]

It pishes me off when the get to the answering machine AND DON'T LEAVE A MESSAGE ffs they have already paid for the call at that stage... :nutter:

 

[anthony1664]

or wait to hear the whole message then you get a recording of them hanging up grrrrr

 

[Dermo]

I like to pretend I'm a FAx machine and do the Beeps ... it really annoys the owner
