About National Inane Answering Message Day
When is National Inane Answering Message Day? This holiday is always celebrated on January 30
Today is National Inane Answering Message Day, a January 30 holiday. Many people look at the title of this day and think ….huh!!? Some people think it’s a typo, and the day should read “National Insane Answering Message Day”. That’s because sometimes people leave the weirdest and craziest messages.
Let’s clarify the meaning of an “inane” answering message. We all get them. An inane message is a senseless or meaningless message, spam, or a prank call. Or, it could be literally an insane message. So, National Inane Answering Message Day is a day to end those numerous annoying messages. The trouble is…….how do you do that?
This is an old holiday that dates back to before cell phones when people had an answering machine attached to their landline telephones. Many of us did not grow up with a physical answering machine, either separately, or plugged into a landline phone. Updated to today’s world, we’re talking about inane voicemail. While technology changes, the messages we receive on our cell phones are as crazy and insane as ever. When we think about today’s inane messages, we think about political, marketing, and scams of all kinds. There’s no shortage of them, and they’re proliferated by mechanized robocalls.
How to Celebrate National Inane Answering Message Day
- Leave an inane message on the voicemail of someone you know. However, NEVER leave one on a stranger’s voicemail.
- Did you dial the wrong number? Make sure you dialed correctly before leaving a message.
- Use your voice. Contact your local, state, and government representatives urging them to enact stricter legislation on this issue.
