Quick phone questions

Has anyone in the history of the world, leaving a voice mail message, actually "Pressed 1 for more options?"

And why after I've already heard the voice of the person I'm calling tell me to leave a message do I actually get a SECOND WOMAN saying "After the tone, please record your message. When you are finished recording, you may hang up ..."

Do we need this sort of repetitiveness in our lives?
