I’m considering changing my phone message to our own version of George Costanza’s (of Seinfeld) Believe It Or Not.
We did this a few years ago and it was great – it annoyed everyone who called us. I particularly remember hearing my mother-in-law tutting and clucking with annoyance. In those days I occasionally got phone calls from friends, but nowadays most people realise that I don’t like the phone and they write me emails or send texts.
So all that’s left are the telemarketers…
For those who don’t know and love Seinfeld, here’s the clip:
(my favourite bit comes when George is listening to it second time round, hears the line ‘where could I be?’ and shrugs, askance…)
