"National" Days Definition

National Inane Answering Message Day

Date When Held : This holiday is always on January 30

Many people look at the title of this day and think ....huh!!? Some people think its a typo, and the day should read "National Insane Answering Message Day". However, it actually and truly is "National Inane Answering Message Day".

First lets clarify the meaning of an "inane" answering message. We all get them on our answering machines. An inane message is a senseless or meaningless message, or a prank call. Or, it could be an insane message.

So, National Inane Answering Message Day is a day to end those numerous, annoying inane answering machine messages. Trouble is.......how do you do that? In todays, world, caller Id is a great tool to accomplish this goal.

  Many of us did not grow up with a physical answering machine, either separately, or plugged into a landline phone. Updated to todays world, we're talking about inane voicemail. When thing about todays inane messages, we think about political, marketing and scams all kinds. There's no shortage of them, and they're proliferated by mechanized robocalls.  

Thought for Today: Mr. Rogers did not adequately prepare me for the people in my neighborhood.

There is no evidence to suggest that this is truly a "National" day, which requires an act of congress.
