On the answering machine I recorded:

"I'm sorry, but Alex's answering machine is broken at the moment, I'm his refrigerator. If you speak slowly and clearly, I'll write your message down and place it on my door".

i have caller id. if it's someone i know or family, i answer accordingly. i usually don't answer if it's unavailable/private/oos/or someone i don't know. sometimes i answer and don't say anything. sometimes i breathe hard. sometimes i use a funny voice. sometimes i pick it up and lay the receiver down and turn the music up. sometimes i tinkle a windchime. once i acted like someone was gonna attack me with a knife and started screaming.

i need to get out more :unsure:

I worked in a video store a long time ago. We used to have to answer the phone saying, "Bonjour, Zazou Super Video, <person> speaking, can I help you?"

People use to then say, "Is this Zazou?" or, "Is this the video store?" :blink:

Once, after saying the greeting, the person on the line said, "Is this Dominoe's Pizza?"

So we took his order. Wonder if he ever got it.
