Meh. I don't care what words the voicemail greeting uses, as long as the business return my call within a timely manner. For me that usually means within 24 hours.

Which is more important: a gushy message about how "your call is important to us" or a timely response?

The stupidest thing about this comment is that the person is writing me to insult me, at the same time as he/she is trying to accuse me of being insulting. Pathetic.
Those kind of passive-aggressive chickensh!t messages need to be reported.

I've encountered that greeting and it leaves the same impression: that they're going to call me whenever they feel like it, that I'm not a priority. I find it impolite.

The worse is that is from people that want my business... probably just clueless.

Some of the places I call have a message like "we will return your call before the end of the business day unless you leave a message after 3pm -- that call will be returned the next business day" or " your call will be returned within 24 hours"

HaHa, I get that a lot. People giving me rep points just to tell me they don't like something I wrote. they don't realize there is that other place for messages in our profiles.

(Also, it wasn't me because I "sign" all my rep posts with "--TracySam").
