DEAR AMY: Here is a response to "Hollering Back" and others who don't listen to their voice mail. I work at a school and have to call parents and leave messages. I leave the whole message, and later a parent will call and say, "Somebody called me from this number." This is confusing when the school receptionist has no idea who left the message or why. I'm sure other businesses have this problem too. I can't believe how lazy people are, that they can't push a button and listen to a message!
