Unintentional voice messages

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

Recently a friend left a voice message for me while she was driving. She later explained that she put the phone down on the middle console after she was done, but hadn’t realized the line remained open.

That explained the funny-ass ranting I heard on the really, really long message that was left on my voice mail. :smiley:

I let her listen to it a few days later and we laughed our asses off. She was talking to herself in the car, among other things, about the errands she needed to run, how she needed to go here before going there because over here they close earlier than over there, and why the hell do they have to close so early over there?

We had a good laugh over it and she recalled that a few months back, her BF left her a voice mail message and lo and behold, he did the same thing but after putting down the cell phone, her voice mail captured a background rant about her from his mother.

Ooops.

My friend said it wasn’t the mom’s crabbing that ended up really bugging her, it was that she did not hear the boyfriend dealing with his mother while she ranted about her.

The ‘unintentional message’ thing has happened to me a few more times here and there, and although I did hear some things that were funny, mundane, boring or just plain strange or unintelligible, nothing really remarkable.

Has anyone ever left a voice message for you, thought they disconnected the call but didn’t, then continued talking, allowing your voice mail to capture things they may not have meant for you to hear?

If so, what was said, and did you let the person who called you know about it later on? :smiley:

Yep. A guy called to ask for a favor from my position in my company. No prob, it’s good exposure for our products, he wanted to borrow them for a coupla days free. I’d done it before. He thought he’d disconnected, but I heard him tell whomever was in the room with him, that he totally knew I would do it, I was “in his pocket” on this kind of thing, blah blah blah. The funny thing was, I came back to my office just after he left the message, to a ringing phone, and it was him, telling me he’d left an inappropriate message, and to please delete w/o listening. Yeah, right. Hysterical. I gave him what he wanted, as I said, it’s great exposure, but I still remember that.

Several years ago, while on a business trip, a group of guys we were having dinner with decided to hit the strip clubs after dinner. So one guy decides to call his wife on his cell phone and tell her good night before entering the club.

The next morning we see him again and he says that he’s in the doghouse with his wife. Apparently later in the prior evening, while he was getting a lap dance, the gyrations hit the redial button on his cell phone, and his wife was woken up and all she could hear was loud music and her husband saying things like, “Go baby!, Ohhh yeah!, Rub your tits in my face!” stuff like that.

They are still married, but he owed her big time.

Owtch. What an awkward moment that must have been when he got home. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ha! I remeber you posted this here along time ago. When I saw the title of the thread. This was the exact story I was thinking of. I just couldn’t remember who wrote it.

This is a BC story (Before Cell phones) but sort of similar. I used to work night security on campus, and we shared radio frequencies with the campus police. After I had quit and was just moving over to Japan, I went over and visited a friend, Steve, who was still working there. We drove around in the car for a while, chatting away. There were a couple of guys together, and just talking the typical BS that you would expect.

And, after a long time of radio silence, the dispatcher called Steve and told him that his mic had been on for a long time. :smack: So with an open mic, all of our conversation had been recorded, of course, so all the typical male BS that one says at 2:00 am was all there for the chief to hear Monday morning.

I never heard how much of the conversation had been recorded. We had been talking for quite a while covering a range of subjects. Simply having someone else in the official security car would have been bad enough, but all the jokes about the dispatchers, etc., etc., Needless to say, he didn’t keep his job.

This happened to me years ago, back when Mr. Smaje and I were just dating. But it was a live call, not a voice mail!

I was leaving work when he called me on my cell phone. We chatted for a bit while I waited for the elevator. When the elevator came, I figured we’d lose our connection anyway, so we hung up – or so I thought.

I put the phone in my pocket, got in the elevator, and proceeded to BELT OUT a love song from Grease 2, of all things. I sang passionately, because Mr. Smaje was in my heart. When I arrived at the ground floor, I realized my phone was still on and asked if Mr. Smaje was still there. He was, and he was smitten. :slight_smile:

Once a coworker accidentally dialed her dad and left him a nice long voicemail of her having sex with her husband. She was very young, like 19, and they’re all Jehova’s Witnesses, which only made it that much funnier to me, for some reason.

I’m embarrassed to admit this*, but I’m moving this thread to MPSIMS.

  • Kidding. Joke. Ha ha.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Ditto the “awwwwww” :slight_smile:

But which song? :wink:

“Turn Back the Hands of Time”

I blush even thinking about it! So dorky, so wonderful.

A friend found a recording of a top secret meeting on his message service. He was convinced someone was spying on him until he realized he must have redialed his answering service leaning on the freezer in the shop. As he’s telling me this I notice my phone is getting really hot and a tiny voice is coming out of it. Yes, my phone was unlocked and I’d leaned against the same freezer and activated 911. The freezer became ‘secret agent’ and we never really trusted it again.

14

Yesterday I accidentally called 911 and I felt like a felon! They were really nice when I apologized but geez. I was all OMG-someone might be getting kidnapped right now and I’m tying up 911 gahhh! :eek: :rolleyes:

A couple I know (too well) went through this about a year ago. He goes to strip clubs, she lets him but hates it ‘unless I can go’ (:rolleyes:). His friend comes to town so he MUST go to the strip club but promises he’ll just watch.
Then he calls to tell her he lost his credit card in the place so she shouldn’t think he used it, it’s been reported stolen already so she doesn’t have to; she says, “If you bought a lapdance at least shower before you come into our house so I don’t have to smell stripper on you.” “How can you think I’m lying, I didn’t buy a lapdance, I really lost the card…”. She yells an expletive at him which makes him think she’s hung up on him so he puts the phone down and she hears him tell his friend, “I gotta stop at your house for a shower before you drop me off.” :smack:

Back in 2004 I got a phone call at around 3 AM. A computer generated female voice said simply “I survived.”

It took me a couple of years to realise that it was probably just someone sending a mundane SMS to the wrong number, but at the time I thought someone without the ability of speech had sent an absolutely vital message to the wrong number. It really freaked me out.

I’ve a friend that had the NASA number to listen to radio traffic to the space shuttle. It was really expensive though.

His dog bumped the phone somehow and dialed the number… 8 hours worth at a dollar a minute.

18

Phew I’ll bet he was in the doghouse for a while.

My bff butt-dialed me once as she was putting her (then very small) kids to bed. The next day I had a VM of her singing to them and leading them through their nightly prayers. I’ve never told her about it, but it’s one of my favorite memories.

I have a co-worker who butt calls me from time to time, but never anything interesting
