“Press one for English.” Five menus later: “Press four to speak with a customer service representative.” By this point, I’m pretty angry with my new automated friend.
None of the menus had anything to do with my question, so yes, I want to speak with a real human being, thank you.
We can all identify with the annoyance that comes from listening to automated voices. They are on smart phones reading texts, on recordings for various 1-800 numbers and now they are in cars giving us directions.
