"Hello, you've reached Hello"

I just called a client. She didn't pick up, but her voicemail did. I was treated to 2 minutes of the song "Electric" by DNC.

Really??

At the end of her generous sound clip, she didn't even name herself or ask me to leave a message. WHAT was that?!

Another nice lady has never listened to her own greeting. She used the one where you just have to record your name and the automated recording inserts it into the greeting for you. You know the one where it goes: "Hello, you reached [insert recorded name]. Please leave a message after the tone."

Yeah, lady recorded "Hello." Just "Hello." No name, no number, nothing. So you reach "Hello" and you have to leave a message. What's worse is that I think you have to end your own recording, so she purposely said "Hello" and then ended her recording, decidedly thinking that was enough.
