ULTIMATE FRUSTRATION.
Me on the phone with the automated phone robot "lady" at Nevada Power yesterday:
Robot: "Please say your house number."
Me: "One.. Six..."
Avery: "AAAAAAH!!!!!"
Robot: "I'm sorry. I didn't get th--"
Avery: "AAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"
Robot: "I'm sorr-"
Avery: "AAAAAAH!!!!!"
Robot: "I heard, 'Six 'X'', if this is correct press one"
Me: "NO! !!! I HATE YOU ROBOT!!!! 'X' isn't even a number! Why would I say 'X'?!!!"
Robot: "I heard, 'seven', if this is correct pres--"
Avery: "AAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!"
Me: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!"
Robot: "I'm sorry, I didn't get that."
There is nothing worse than those automated phone systems. Nothing. Wouldn't they assume that most of the people who call in during the day are prrooobbably moms with kids screaming in the background?
I mean, COME ON.
Not even an option to use my keypad?
Give
Me
A
Break.
PS. My daughter is ridiculously adorable. Even sick with snot slugs creeping out of her nose all day. She just walked up to me and said, "hand?" just because she wanted to hold my hand while I was on the computer. Sure, it's taken me 45 minutes to type this with one hand, but could you pass up cuteness like that? I think not.
PS. Want me to beat you in Words with Friends? My username is 'Sofia Beer'....
Happy Tuesday.........!
agreed. She is pretty darn adorable .
ReplyDeletethere is nothing worse than those stupid robots.
I really can't stand that.
hand? im going to start using that with omar. thats brilliant.
ReplyDeletei really hate that nowadays when you hit zero over and over and over and over, instead of getting an operator, it'll usually say "I'm sorry I do not understand that option. Please try again. Goodbye." and it HANGS UP!!?
ReplyDeletewhat the shit.
Ugh!!! I hate automated phone systems. My girls always scream in the background and totally make the phone call last an hour. is it too much to ask for an escape button to a human?
ReplyDeletevery good point, and i know what you mean. i usually just start telling, "representative!"
ReplyDeleteYou are so darn cute and funny!!! I love every blog post you've written!
ReplyDeleteI just now read this (sorry, I'm creepy sometimes) and laughed out loud.
ReplyDeleteSO had that same (EXACT SAME) experience.
