In this thread, we wonder if we have commited faux pas

[ChrisLovesYou]

I started a telephone message with this:

"Hi, it's Chris. It's sixteen minutes and thirty-seven seconds past two in the afternoon on the thirteenth of March in the year of our lord two-thousand and seven..."

Have I committed a faux pas?

[monet2u]

depends, was that your message? did the machine cut you off resulting in another call to give your message?

some people appreciate detail.

I never set the time or date on my answering machine, so I appreciate fine details like those.
