  definitely… its getting even worse now that they have voice recognition systems. Specially when I call my cell phone company it seems to hear whatever it wants. It’ll ask you questions, and then if you say no and it wants to hear yes, then it’ll register as a yes. Its stupid!

  I do, unless it’s a home answering service, but that’s about it.

  ME TOO !!!

  The really fun ones are the voice recognition ones… You try to say a word and it hardly ever recognizes what you are saying so you have to yell into the phone… Pretty fun when you’re at work and your co-workers think you’re a raving lunatic because you keep yelling “FIVE !” or “YES !” into the phone.

  True there’s only thing worse. The answering service that tries to recognize your voice. I find myself saying the name, them repeating back something compeltely different, and it always ends with me yelling into the phone!

• 10 goodgirlabout2gobad

  Me too, and I hate that they figured out how to make you actually have a conversation with a stupid machine. I just start pushing buttons until I get a live one

  if you have seen Elvis press 7

• 14 Sahara

  Lol. I hate them too, especially when they don’t have an option that fits your needs.

• 15 Jay J

  Try pressing some of the numbers they don’t ask you to try. Usually one of them will put you through to an actual person.

• 16 I like this sky of steel

  If pressing ZERO doesn’t work to get you through to a person, here’s a trick: start pressing random keys on the phone, periodically followed by the # sign. That will confuse the computer that operates the system and it will connect you to a person because it can’t figure out what you want.

  i know all i wanted to do was pay my electric bill over the phoen and it asked me all these questions then it asked me for my account number and i was punching it in but it keeped on saying invalid account so it told me to put my phone number in and i repeated me the same account nu,mber that i punched in, it said how much did you want to pay so i punched that in and then it transfered me to another 3rd party company that handles payments and i had to do it all over again waste of 15 min

  I hate them so much I remember once I was on hold for an hour because I wanted these concert tickets and when I finally was off hold they told me that they ran out. Then I threw the phone at the wall

• 21 codename_47

  it is only good just because of that it helps u to decide, cause most of the time u have the decicion, just cant call it!
  have a nice day!

• 22 glorymomof3

  Press 1 if you really want to know my answer….

  Press 2 if you want to take the phone and toss it across the room

  Press 3 if you cant speak english and you want me to speak slowly because i was too cheap to put a translator on my message.

  Press 4 if you just want me to explode and disappear.

  Yeah- i hate those things- that is why i always press all the numbers and then apologize once i get the wrong person so they can transfer me to where i need to be. but then again- i prefer to talk to the machine when the person who answers cannot speak english well enough to be understood.

  Thats when I would like to hear:

  Press 5 if you would like to jump through the phone and strangle the 1st person you reach.

  BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPP!

  :0)

• 23 Hulagirl96734

  sorry we are closed for the day but will kindly take a message in the order it was recieved
  and get back to you on normal business days
  lol

• 24 WhutNow

  Who doesn’t? Its very impersonal. If what I need is simple and doesn’t need human intervention then the automated service is fine, but sometimes the menus are so long and boring that I drift off and think about or do something else (hum a tune in my head, what I’m gonna do later etc.), then the last thing I end up hearing after option 9 or whatever is “to repeat these options, press hash (#)”. Dammit! Way to prolong the agony.

• 25 bo

  For the answer, please press 1

• 26 ?Scrabble Girl?

  I have to admit, that I hate them as much if not more than you do. I will not even call my cable company anymore. If I need help, I go to the company.
