I’m dedicating this lovely FOAD to whoever the jackass was that invented those impersonal automated lists where you have to push numbers on your way to some semblence of a human when calling toll free numbers. I was calling to let my lein holder of my car know that I was going to be 2 weeks late on my payment but could not for the life of me manage to get connected to a human being. Sometimes you can bypass this by pushing “0″ for the operator - no go - disconnected. Sometimes you can bypass this by just sitting on the line thinking that you might have a rotary phone - no go - disconnected. Push any and all buttons - no go - I was getting redirected to an endless array of automated crap. So I guess they won’t know that I’m going to be late until they get the fucking check with a lovely note in it as well telling them of their shitty toll free number system. They have no local office so I couldn’t call them locally or go to the office. I only hope they call me first so I can personally bitch at them on the phone!!

I concur! Bravo!
I am trying to send you the football invite, but I can’t locate an email address for you…
You too?
I just had this discussion with a “live” human…yes I say live, as if they would be “dead” and at times, I do wonder that. ANyhoo…I went around and around with my auto loan Company. But the real person will call 5 times, hell if I ever catch them. THey are about as elusive as the Yeti!
Peace
First and foremost, thanks for the comment over at twodorks and for the eBay suggestion, dunno why I haven’t thought of that yet…I get a ton of stuff from there as is.
Secondly, I love your FOAD. I dealt with Time Warner Cable today and had to go through 10 minutes of button pushing hell before I finally got through to a live human to set up a time to transfer to their phone service from HellSouth, so its a rant I can relate to
I hate automated messages. I always either get disconnected or never get to the department I want to get too. It’s so annoying not to be able to talk to a real person. I really hate the automated messages that where you have to say your answers rather than push a button because any background noise gets you sent to the wrong department - and in a house with 4 kids, I have lots of background noise…
Wahahahhaa! you should have seen the code I was told to enter, I couldn’t even find the right key on the keyboard.
All that aside, I had to say how much I agree with your FOAD.
My personal favorite is when you finally get connected to a live person only to be told you have to a) call a different number b) wait while they connect you to the right department which means you’re sent back to the automated system or c) find out you called the wrong company to begin with.
