Why is when you make a call to a company you never get a human person ..

[Ginsing]

It always seems to be a rather perculiarly odd voice asking you to leave your name and number after the tone. This is a hate I have- why cannot we get a human being who is polite and helpful and knows where you live and does not feel it is the outer Hebrides, I hope the guy in the OH will forgive me I am sure they have problems too...

So I have left my name my number my problem and now I wait.................

Hehe. I pay my electric and gas by phone always get the automated system...at the end it says ... What would you like to do next.... So one time I replied ... I want to skip naked across my neighbours lawn... There was a pause and the the disembodied computer voice said .. I am sorry I will pass you to an advisor... So if you want to speak to a human try confusing the computer... Though the man I got put through to was pretty confused when I said ,, no I don't need help your computer just couldn't comprehend me skipping across my neighbours lawn naked... After a pause he said ...ok have a nice day.....

My hubby has just worked out how to use the voice recognition on his ipad. I told the ipad voice it was a total moron and back came the reply 'I would blush if I could' Going to have a go at saying this next time I get one of these automated systems - especially the courier companies.

This sometimes works........if it tells you to press between 1-4 press 9. It will not understand & asks again. This time press 7 & with any luck it will put you thru to an operator...................... sometimes it just things you are a complete idiot & cuts you off! Lol! x
