Not sure if there is anything more fricking infuriating that how user unfriendly these fricking things are. Why the frick cant they just connect me with a fricking human?

I don't mind using the prompts, but don't waste my time telling me to "listen closely as our menu options have changed."

Bitch, I've been calling you for a decade and you've had the same options.

I really like how after navigating through 45 minutes of menu options and even more menu options after that, you still get put on hold

Telephony systems are cheaper than minimum wage employees. That won’t change.

All I needed to do earlier was call in to get my fricking account number so I can log in to set up automatic payments and the after about 10 minutes of putting these stupid numbers into the prompt at DirecTv, or AT&T whatever the hell it is now, and they said they dont have my account in there and then I finally get to talk to a fricking representative and because I dropped a few F-bombs with describing their dogshit automated prompts the a-hole hung up on me.

But I got that motherfrickers name and employee ID and im gonna try to put his arse out of a fricking job now.

and 9 out of 10 when they put you on hold, the computer sends you to a dead line that disconnects and hangs up on you

I was screaming that into my phone. I was also yelling human too.

I hate this shite. It took what was supposed to be a short call and turned it into a 20 minute ordeal. DirecTv has the worst customer service around.

I just start saying representative until the robot gives up and stops saying "but first, are you calling about.."

Quite often if you say "agent" over the prompt it will get you to an agent faster.

You cursed out the minimum wage call center employee because you don't like the automated system that their boss' boss' boss' boss chose to institute?

Yep, you're the reasonable one
