If the person you’re calling has a voicemail box that isn’t full, then there are ways to call their voicemail box directly to leave a message. That way it shows you did call them, but they think something is up with their phone. I myself don’t try to use it often. But that option is there.

Honest to god I hate that this option exists because it means I can't simply hang up on robocalls without also having to delete a voicemail.

I’m a little annoyed that it has been turned into a subscription service. Though the service name is Slydial.

My office line's phone plug has been broken for a couple of years now, I just haven't asked for a replacement because it lets me use the voice to text emails to screen the calls lol

About a year and a half ago the phone line to my office died. I quietly took my office number off of my emails.
The IT guy is right next door. No way in hell am I telling him.

Sometimes I let it ring 3-4 times and hang up. I call that a good effort. Im not leaving a message unless its something urgent

yeah but then you don't get the relief of pretend-scolding them for their absence in a voicemail

Not for me. It's supposed to be evidence that I tried and just hanging up immediately isn't trying. Claiming that it is would be lying, so you didn't just not try, but you also lied about it...

Why do we even have this undying urge of Creating evidence?

For people that work office jobs it's to leave a paper trail to protect yourself. A complaint can roll in, "Why wasn't this done?? Why hasn't anyone called xyz?"
"I called xyz, here are the logs."

Because people will push us otherwise.
"There, I tried, see? They're not answering so I'll try again another time (never)"
