    Why the heck is it that lately every time I try to use the bathroom at home a phone rings?
    It's almost always a robocall scammer on the landline, but not always.

    For that matter, I used to be able to set my old answering machine to anywhere from 10 seconds to 1 minute.
    Now I get a fixed 20 seconds. My voicemail on the cell phone is the same.
    Why are we now forced to scramble to answer the phone in 20 seconds instead of having a whole minute like we used to?

    I can only imagine it was determined that callers won't wait any longer than the maximum provided with answering machines and will hang up. Why do you want to scramble to answer the phone anyway? if it's important won't anyone you care about leave a message?

    Stupid lazy recruiters don't want to bother to leave a message, then e-mail me and say "I can't reach you on the phone" and even when they do if I'm in the bathroom they don't answer when I try to return it less than 2 minutes later, it goes right to voicemail.

    That would explain why the phone rings every time I've either got my hands dirty when cooking or am in the middle of using the toilet.
    Almost always a robocall or scammer.
