Voice Mails IGNORED

In the past year I have noticed an infuriating trend: I call client's or friend's cell phones and leave a voice mail and then they call back without listening to the message. They simply call back the missed call number.

On a per call basis this is not an irritation. However, upon summing up all the messages left without the recipient listening to them, this amounts to a significant annoyance. Why don't you listen to the voice mail, idiots!? I now hesitate to leave a voice mail as more and more people do not check them. Chalk one more up to the discourteous behavior of people in the new tech age.
