Automatic recordings on cell phones are getting to a point beyond ridiculous.
This is what might eventually happen in the very near future when you call a cell phone number and the party you want to reach does not answer the call:
"AT THE TONE YOU MAY LISTEN TO MORE RECORDINGS, OR YOU MAY MAKE YOURSELF A PEANUT BUTTER SANDWICH; OR IF YOU CAN'T HOLD IT ANYMORE YOU MAY GO THE BATHROOM; OR YOU MAY SWEEP THE FLOORS; OR YOU MAY WATER YOUR PLANTS; OR IF YOUR PREFERENCE IS LISTENING TO MUSIC YOU MAY PRESS NUMBER 3 FOR A SELECTION, OR IF YOU NEED MORE TIME PRESS 6 AND YOU MAY START REMODELING YOUR HOUSE; OR YOU MAY......"
And this is what, as a consequence, you might want to do out of frustration....
...BANG! (Check first the law to make sure that shooting your phone with a gun, inside your house, is legal and can be considered self-defense)

Somewhere laid in between the sentence for a murder in the first degree, and grand theft larceny, there should be a crime for bad IVR (Interactive Voice Response) devices. They don't insult, they assault our intelligence, and they suck away time from our already busy lives to be given the most nonsensical options over a telephone, ever. Chinese Water Torture, move over. There's a new sheriff in town, and it's called BAD AUTOMATED CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
soooooooooooooooo true !!!
love your blog
