讨厌的科技产品使用习惯-打电话时让对方铃声响很久(7)(在线收听

 Don't call and let it ring long enough to leave a blank voicemail

 
打电话时让对方铃声响很久,最后留下空白的语音留言
 
For whatever reason I develop a crippling feeling of anxiety whenever I see the little voicemail icon pop up on my phone. It takes a lot for me to muster the will to even check my messages.
 
不知为何,每次看见手机上跳出语音留言的提示我就会很紧张,我需要鼓起十足勇气才敢点开这些留言。
 
So when I've suffered through the prompts and chewed through my nails for fear that the voicemail is my boss calling to tell me I've been fired, getting a blank message is tantamount to torture.
 
煎熬许久,紧张地咬着指甲,我很怕这条语音是老板说我被炒鱿鱼了,结果点开发现却是一条空白信息,天啊实在是折磨。

I really shouldn't have to explain this, so let's just say we can hear everything.
 
我想我不用解释太多,你知道电话这头我们可什么都听得见。
