Do Not Disturb - A call left unanswered




Almost 2am central standard time, I decided the bed is where my head should be. I close all the windows to the PC and realize "Oh shit - I gotta walk Smiley before going to bed. I slap on some flip flops, connect the link and open the door. The air was a cool 67 degrees on this september night. I slowly pace the yard with our dog as my head focuses on what little sky I can see from my back yard. After smiley had finished his nightly fertilizer presents, we walked in. It was when I reached the living room did I notice the little red blinky light on my phone. Now there is no other function on a phone that can cause instant emotion such as an led in a cell phone. Every text recieved, and call lost instigates this lil red bastard to blink. Upon reviewing my phone I realized that I had a voice mail. Strange....My phone doesn't say I missed any calls and I had not been on my phone for sometime.

I go through the motions and follow the direction of the pushy robot woman. Ahhhh here it is my voicemail. Now at this point I would like to point out that there is a strange beeping sound then a short ring. A young kid 16-17 tops picks up (he sounds tired or high) Hello?.....Hello? Ethel?....Matt?? Now a young bitchy teen chimes in with her words of praise "OH MY GOD"  boy "Helloooo? weird sound  ANSWERGEFHDIKHDH sdgsjg fgDFHDFH Fucker!" End of voicemail. I actually sat in disbelief for a moment. "Hey Babe listen to this!" I told Stacy. She also gave the same look one would give a grandma dressed as a 20 yr old at the beach. 

No worries, Ill call back maybe its a wrong number. 3 rings and a click later a man picks up the other end. "Hey who is this?" I ask. "Ummmm WHO IS THIS???" replies the man who sounds about as lost as every politician when asked about Osama Bin Laden haha. I reply with "My bad man this is Martin and I believe I have a missed call from this number" "Are you sure??? I have been layin in my bed for sometime now and haven't touched my phone" replies the confused party. I think for a moment and say "Yeah man, I just got a voicemail from this number and.....(this is when reality slaps me dead in the face)... The man apologizes and says he didn't have any outgoing calls. I tell him everything is cool and to have a good night.

After hanging up, the wheels begin to turn. The man that answered the phone sounded nothing like the boy in my voicemail. Not only that the man had no background noise and his end sounded like everything was off and he was about to go to bed. The boy who left the voicemail however sounded a solid 10 -15 yrs younger and there sounded like a 17 year old grumpy chic in the background. Also why was there a clicking sound then ringing before the boy picked up? More over why did he answer the voicemail like someone would normally answer a phone????

Of course this could all be semantics and some minimum wage kid working the sprint satellite happened to spill his snapple on his keyboard causing some cosmic misalignment of satellite to phone transmission. Ooorrrrrr as the laymen's put Shit got fucked up lol. Either way the phone call was a lil disturbing raising more questions than answers.
