Answering machine message for the Pacific Palisades High School

(California)

(The school and teachers were being sued by parents who wanted their children's failing grades changed to passing grades even though those children were absent 15-30 times during the semester and did not complete enough school work to pass their classes.) This was voted unanimously by the office staff as the actual answering machine message for the school:

"Hello! You have reached the automated answering service of your school. In order to assist you in connecting the right staff member, please listen to all your options before making a selection:

To lie about why your child is absent - Press 1

To make excuses for why your child did not do his work - Press 2

To complain about what we do - Press 3

To swear at staff members - Press 4

To ask why you didn't get information that was already enclosed in your newsletter and several flyers mailed to you - Press 5

If you want us to raise your child - Press 6

If you want to reach out and touch, slap or hit someone - Press 7

To request another teacher for the third time this year - Press 8

To complain about bus transportation - Press 9

To complain about school lunches - Press 0

If you realize this is the real world and your child must be accountable, responsible for his/her own behavior, class work, homework, and that it's not the teachers' fault for your child(ren)'s lack of effort, hang up and have nice day!"

This reminds me of a joke I saw on the Dilbert website a while ago. They had asked for the "Top ten signs your customer service department hates your customers". The winner was the following:

They spend three months programming the voice-mail system with a text-based adventure game...

"Welcome to customer support. To get help you must rescue the princess and bring the potion of help to your keeper.

You are in a forest facing North.
Press 8 to go north.
Press 4 to go west.
Press 6 to go east."
 
"This is Viperguy's answering machine. Please leave your name and number, and after I've doctored the tape, your message will implicate you in a federal crime and be brought to the attention of the FBI."
 
:lol:

I personally think the stockades should be brought back and the parents thrown in.

"Look kids...see what happens when you're a tool?"

Anyone seen the Vodafone advert on TV? Rubens Barichello comes in for a pit stop, and the Ferrari mechanics do what they do best. The voice over is Rubens saying: "Hi. This is Rubens Barichello. I'm at, uh, work right now so please leave a message".


Well, I liked it
