I used to believe that when someone was leaving a message on the answering machine that they could hear you like on the telephone. I wasnt supolsed to answer the phone when I was home alone, in case someone was calling to find out if I was alone and come kidnap me! Every time the phone rang and someone left a message, I would mute the TV and run to the next room terrified that someone could hear me and come and take me!
