You call someone and their machine answers. You think they picked up and start yapping about why you called. Then you hear a beep and realize you were talking to a machine the whole time. You already used up half the tape and now you're trying to explain it all again like you're stupid.
I called my mom and started yelling about my math test. Then I heard a beep and realized I was talking to a machine. I spent the next 3 minutes explaining why I failed.
I called my crush and started talking about my cat. Then I heard a beep and realized I was talking to a machine. I spent the next 3 minutes explaining why my cat is a drama queen.
I called my dad and started ranting about my job. Then I heard a beep and realized I was talking to a machine. I spent the next 3 minutes explaining why I hate my boss.
