My answering machine picked it up while I was at work and the idiot person continued the conversation as if I were live but screening his call.  After the automated message plays, it does say, please leave a message after the beep. My phone beeped and they were to leave a message but all the caller did was keep saying, "Hello"...repeatedly in a questioning tone. This person didn't even bother identifying themselves. All they kept saying was, "Hello"... non stop for the full minute before my answering machine cut them off.
