 Title text: Hobby: seeing how many menu selections you can get someone to go through before they realize you're not an automated system and/or hang up. |
Explanation
Megan gave her number to Cueball at a party, but now doesn't want to talk to him. Because Megan works with recording voice messages at Verizon, she can with no effort put on the characteristical semi-lifeless tone of professional automated answers, and answer the phone with the "call cannot be completed"-message. Perhaps it was even she who recorded it in the first place.

Randall, being male, obviously doesn't know that if the woman isn't interested in the guy asking for her number she will just give a made-up number! -- The Cat Lady (talk) 16:04, 17 August 2021 (UTC)
- "I swear I got her the first time." Perhaps she was interested at first, but lost interest and is doing this in hopes he'll stop contacting? Tsumikiminiwa (talk) 23:40, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
