In reply to the discussion: People leaving voicemail recordings that say, "I'll get back to you at MY earliest CONVENIENCE" [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)There are no small number of people in this world, unfortunately, who have been raised to believe that the sun rises and sets around them, and everything from what they had for breakfast to the size of their bowel moments are life snippets that people eagerly await from them. They have no boundaries. They feel motivated to share even the most noxious and personal details, because they've been taught to believe that they are the Most Important Person In The Whole Wide World and, as children, they got positive feedback for this sort of thing.
Then, there are people who are just poorly educated. They probably heard someone else politely saying "Please get back to me at YOUR earliest convenience" and figured that flipping the phrase was equally polite!
I've never heard such a voicemail, but I'm no longer out there in the business/commerce/gov't world. I'd probably just laugh at the absurdity of it all (beats crying over the death of basic manners, I suppose!).
