Pharmacies have voice mail systems, mainly for doctor's offices to leave messages, but patients can leave messages as well. Of course, this can lead to people pressing the wrong button and getting in there by accident. Most people just hang up, but every now and then someone leaves a message, usually on accident, that winds up being funny. It seems it's usually and older person, and it usually is something to the effect of "I can't get anyone to answer the (expletive) phone!" They don't leave their names obviously, but you can almost always tell who it is. Anyway, as frustrating as it probably is for the patients, it can be down right hilarious to to the pharmacy staff.
One message was left by a patient just the other day, who knew he was leaving a message and just wished to express his displeasure with the automated menu, explained that he had tried calling us 50 times and couldn't get anyone to answer the blankety-blank phone. Of course, this particular person has expressed his displeasure with a lot of things, so I wasn't that surprised.
