hey, it's me

· · 🌡️ 26°F

have you ever recieved a phone call from someone, and they leave a voicemail saying, "hey, it's me."

well, this accpetable from a special few:

family
close friends
significant other

otherwise its just wierd, and kinda creepy.

i don't even call my mom and say, "hey it's me". that implies that you hold priority over others, and you are a VIP. sorry, but it takes a long time to get on my VIP list.

did they ever broach this topic on seinfeld? they should have.

    I never have gotton a phone message like that. It is one thing to say that from behind a door like "Who's There" "Its Me" off course if it is a voice you know you'll let them in. But over the phone a lot of people sound differant so it would be strange for someone to do that. I could see them doing a seinfield episode about that. I can picture Kramer letting someone Jerry Dosn't know into the apartment. It seems like it would be right up their alley.

    I hate that! I also hate when someone from your past calls and says, "guess who?" Hey, I'm living in the present here, give me a break! Unfortunately, someone once did that to me on IM. I got so pissed I blocked him. Turned out to be my ex-boss. Oops!

    LOL I never do that even with my mother because my three sisters and I all have virtually indistinguishable voices over the phone. I can't tell the difference among them except by the words they use, as opposed to their voices.

    jason, that was a bitchy comment. And yeah, as we get older, now I can't tell the diff between my mom/sister, dad/brother anymore, and I keep getting tricked. But yeah, using the 'it's me' too early is presumptuous. And yes, seinfeldian.
