Dontcha hate it when you get the automated menu that asks for your account number (usually 16 or more digits).When you finally get to a real live person, what’s the first thing they ask for? Where the h-e-double hockey sticks did it go? why did I put it in the system if you’re not going to use it???
With one of the automated services that I have the misfortune to use, the automated order system takes at a minimum at least twice as long as placing the same order with a live operator. I guess wasting my time is not their concern.
If you are obsessive/compulsive, please press 1 repeatedly.If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2.If you have multiple personality disorder, please press 3, 4, 5, and 6.
If you are paranoid-delusional, we already know who you are and what you want. Please stay on the line so we can trace your call.
If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and the voices will tell you which number to press.
I’m really surprised my husband didn’t comment on this yet — they just got the automated directory at work and it’s really slowing things down. It makes people crankier before they reach him too. I guess he couldn’t think of a comment that wouldn’t be deleted for inappropriate language.

That’s all you get today: talking to a computer. Why are humans hired anyway?
