automated voice on phones

I don't know if its just Verizon or all companies but that wretched voice that says nobody is available to answer the phone. No Shit! Thats why it rang a dozen goddam times. It's so fucking slow and tells you about a dozen options of pushing buttons or scratching balls or punching some other number to hear even more options. It takes forever for the slow talkin' son of a bitch to spit that shit out. Then it drags on some more trying to tell you what you know...what you want to do in the first place, leave a fucking message. Why can't the miserable piece of shit just say "leave message after beep"? Who the fuck ever uses those dumbass options? Why do I have to pay for a service, service? that just piss's me off.

Does this piss anybody else off? Should I start takin my meds again?

Somebody On Here Will Have A Better Memory Than Moi......Some Time Ago I Read Here

If You Kept Pressing A Certain Digit You Could Bypass All Of That Crap

And Go Direct To A Real Life Human Being....



Cheers Glen.

 

I mean like when you're trying to call someone and they don't answer. Then that wretched android voice thing gives its spiel about pressing 1 if you wnat something or 2 if ya want a different thing and finally after dragging on forever it says you can leave a message...drives me fuckin nuts its so slow and boing.

 

In an attempt to keep their customers from going apeshit, a lot of companies with support lines like that have a profanity detection system in place, so that if you swear incessantly, they'll put you in touch with a CSR quicker.

And these systems are in place because, believe it or not, a lot of people find it convenient, and so it drastically reduces the number of calls that need to be taken by "real" people, effectively allowing you to get through quicker.

 

mine just says i'm not there, leave a message after the beep - and to rerecord the message press hash. it doesn't bother me, and it's better than people who don't have voicemail.

 

One of the guys I work with has his own voicemail set up in his voice going "HI!!!!" and that's it. lol

 

my old personalised voice mail was arnie's voice saying - 'who is your daddy, and what does he do?'

it was awesome.

 

I really just want mine to say; if you're too dumb to know the drill, you're too dumb to talk to me.

 

So...make it say that. You do realize you can personalize them, right? But I wouldn't go insulting intelligence of anyone if you just now realized it. Haha.

 

I've found that many times if don't push any numbers,which I don't like doing,you'll eventually get a person. What I don't like is =you push a number then you get another list of numbers and then maybe another list. That's gets me hangin' up to start over.

I dont leave messages

I dont use voicemail either

 

Usually if you press 9 it will take you to a live person.

Well, live, might be relative.

 

obviously none of the companies that have put me on hold have that technology...

 

Yeah I usually press a bunch of random numbers until I get someone...our local cable company is the worst!

 

0 usually works as a bypass to a person on automated systems Ive dealt with
