My favorite is once you out in your account number, phone number, social, DOB, select your eye color, reason you are calling, address, and so on and the person comes on with “let me confirm- what is your.... 14 different things you just entered” followed by “how can I help you today”

I work in insurance so sit on hold a lot. Nothing bothers me more than when I enter the policy number and all the identity qualifying info and then just have to repeat it when I get on the phone with someone.

the customer is always right, dont like it, get a real job and dont work in customer service


I don't know how many clients like you I fired over the years but I was happy about everyone. You spend 90% of your time on 10% of your clients ridding yourself of them is a joy.

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?



The robots took their jobs, that's why.

I don’t like them either, but what really gets my goat, is when listening to the menu options (because they’ve obviously changed) is the same time my wife wants to have a conversation.

“Please listen to the menu, our options have changed”
“For “what do you want to do for dinner” press 1”
“frick!”
“To hear the options again press “I’m headed to the grocery store”
“frick!”

I hate when the robot makes you enter your account number, phone number and reason for calling and then when you finally talk to the terrorist they also ask you for the exact same phucking information I just typed into the robot.

Which would you rather have, a automated messaging system or an Indian you can barely understand? I went to cancel my Wall Street journal membership that I had to have for a class in college because they kept billing me even though they said it would end after I graduated.

This Indian guy was not only hard to understand but he was also intentionally mishearing me and coaxing me into signing up for the yearly membership to WSJ. I shite you not I was on the phone with this guy for 30 minutes trying to unsubscribe. He finally got ill with me and accepted it. He didn’t expect me to be so stubborn about $15 a month but by god I won that battle.
