My grandparents just didn't get the answer machine on the phone. Despite being told there was a male voice with a pre-recorded message on our home phone, my senile nan left many messages to family saying "our Mo's having an affair, a strange man answered the phone when I rang!" and my mum having to go and set the record straight. There were also many minutes of my grandad refusing to believe it was a recorded message and not my dad having a laugh. Many's the time we'd come home, press play and find him bellowing "I know you're there Eric, pick up the phone! It's not funny!". They would often forget to hang up the phone at their end too, so we had recordings of them mumbling or vacuuming on the answer machine.
