Voicemail systems that give you instructions at the end. "Leave your message after beep. When you're done, press # or just hang up."

Yeah, I fucking know how voicemail works! Why the fuck am I even calling a person!?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Similarly, when my voicemail tells me too much extraneous information -- "You have... ONE... NEW... message... from phone number xxx-xxx-xxxx.... received TODAY.. October... 27th... at 1:57 PM"

Fuck off. I know the number because it's in my missed calls log! I know when it was received! I don't care what time I missed the call! Just fucking play the goddamn message!

They should also consider that not everyone has the g-dam knife skills of a head sushi chef and a million separate bowls for each ingredient carefully measured to precision by a staff of interns.
