I hate voice automated systems

[Jillian]

I hate when I call a company with an issue I must attempt to get past the voice automated system to actually speak to a human being.

I also hate when you call the cable company past a certain time at night they ship your call automatically over to India or some place and they have no idea what you are talking about.

I hate that every where you call has an automated system. You are lucky to get a real person when you call the operator anymore.

Start here-- this site lists numbers for real people (though there MAY be some automated crap, just not as much):

Also, If you want to bypass the flunkies in India (or wherever...not that people from India are flunkies) then ask to speak with a supervisor. You'll be transferred to an American voice.

Just push 0, seems to always work for me.
