hung up

I recently made a new friend. After casually flirting, he gave me his Thai number and asked me to text him saying he wanted to "taste Malaysia". Go figure. So anyway, once home I texted him and it never went thru. I tried and tried again and again but never went thru. In frustration and determination I called him and this was when things went abit cuckoo. I got thru but it was his telcom's network voice message system that answered my call. Specifically his Thai telcom network. First it was all in Thai, then in English.

PHONE: Hello, u have reached xxxxxx. If you would like to leave a message please press 1.

So.. I pressed 1.

PHONE: If u'd like instructions in English, please press 1. If u'd like instructions in English please press 2.

What?! Umm.. Ok.. So for the fun of it, I pressed 2.

PHONE: Please key in your phone number, followed by the star key.

So.. I key in my number, and press the star key.

PHONE: Thank you. If you'd like to leave another number, please press 2 and key in your number followed by the star key.

Excuse me? Now why would i want to leave another number? This got me abit confused. And where was the part that I actually left the message? So since there was nothing else to do, I pressed 2, keyed in my number and hit the star key.

PHONE: Thank you. To go back to the main menu, please press 1.

I waited. Silence..

PHONE: Thank you. To go back to the main menu, please press 1.

What main menu?! Where do i leave the message?

PHONE: Thank you. To go back to the main menu, please press 1.

Fine!! 1 it is!

PHONE: If u'd like instructions in English, please press 1. If u'd like instructions in English, please press 2.

This is ridiculous. Where do I leave the message? I hung up. An hour later I tried again.

PHONE: Hello, u have reached xxxxxxx...

I hung up. What is wrong with these people? And that woman on the phone's voice was so nasal and annoying. Felt like throwing the phone at her face. It was really frustrating cos I really liked this guy and to have this woman stand in my way. Aargh! Maybe.. it just wasn't meant to be.
