Can We Stop Doing This Now Please?

"This is Blah Blah McBlahbbity Blah Blah at BlahBlah and Company. I'm sorry I can't get to the phone right now, I'm either on the phone or away from my desk. Please leave me a detailed voice message after the beep, and I will return your call as soon as possible."

That tired message is so 1992. It's not necessary for people to leave all 8 details in their outgoing announcement. How about shortening that shit a bit? When I call someone, and I don't get the person but instead a recording, STOP WASTING MY TIME! I'M NOT CONFUSED! I GET IT! I KNOW WHAT TO DO!

I hang up.
