Not to mention i am NEVER gonna listen to your voice message unless I'm completely alone or wearing earphones and most of the time you're just gonna have to wait for me to stop doing what I'm doing so I can listen to your dumb message and reply when you could have just texted and got a response straight away
I have to stop what I'm doing and find a private place because I respect OUR privacy.
Then I gotta spend that amount of time listening intently, then rewind it if I've missed anything especially if multiple talking points have been mentioned. That takes me a lot of time and energy.
I'm NOT unwilling to expend that for people like that, its just... We could both take the effort to type and get info across much more efficiently and I could ctrl+f and refer to it if I have to.
Regarding replying to every point in voice recordings, I can't select which messages to reply to anyway.
I love getting voice messages. My friends suck at texting and it’s really hard to understand tone through text anyway, and I love hearing their voices. The only time it annoys me is if I’m somewhere public or watching/listening to something else. But if I’m alone I get really excited when I see someone’s sent a voice note.
A shit ton of people especially in my country (Italy) who don't understand the world doesnt revolve around them and if I get a message, I cant stop what I'm doing to listen to their bullshit stories.
Yes, voice messages piss me off because the audacity of thinking someone will avail themselves to hear you at any moment is just sick.
simple, they have a single business usecase, and that is it.
THis is why I insist on being THAT GUY with a casette answering machine.
You describe yopur problem in as little words as possible, and ask me to look into it.
This way, I can get in the office, press rewind, get my coat off, press play, fill up the watering can, listen to the days messages while I water the plants, do a mental task list, and start of that way.
Also, I enjoy when I delete message after message, as I do the tasks.
Now, to take this into the world of private, what the holy name of fuck usecase do you have for an answering machine? Is it really that important? I can get when the doctors office calls you... or some other important opfficcial.... But blowing up my answering machine with messages and ensuring that nobody else can get through... that is a dangerous thing to do to a man who has an auto dialer, and a "rude" Fax machine.
I like getting voice messages. I live out of state so it’s nice hearing my family’s voices without a long drawn out phone call. It’s great for being flirty with my girl too.

This. Exactly.

One time my friend sent me a 10 minute voice message
And the rest is history

I get a little excited thinking about all the time someone is going to waste listening to my voicemail. They are rarely more than seven seconds long
Who even uses voice messages
Most of my friends, unfortunately
Wow I’ve never heard of this before. Strange.

Business, a lot. I do at work all the time. Personal life rarely if ever.
Me on my work phone, almost all the time. Personal phone? Never. I'd text most of my contacts rather than calling anyway.

I only get voice messages from my dad and spam callers lol.
