She is scared of losing her job because the company knows that NOBODY calls them. <BR/><BR/>Your word verification is great because I can read it. : )photohomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17244417605536786009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2617429626248323693.post-11771876382611693812009-03-30T03:28:00.000-04:002009-03-30T03:28:00.000-04:00It drives me mad too,GGIt drives me mad too,<BR/><BR/>GGAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2617429626248323693.post-89047043510527992612009-03-29T21:41:00.000-04:002009-03-29T21:41:00.000-04:00I can totally relate!

It used to be you could trick the system and just keep hitting 0 three times until the computer voice would say I don't recognize this entry please hold for a representative. Yesterday - Washington Mutual hung up on me! Bastards! I had to order checks and since it's been 5 years since I've ordered them, online couldn't process the order and the voice system couldn't process it. Try changing a diaper while pressing your account number! I finally pressed enough buttons to reach a human being.R.

I have been finding I have less and less patience with the automated conversations via telephone. <BR/><BR/>When I was trying to find My father in law a doctor, this is all I got, was recording, telling me to access them on the internet. It took me several days and several numbers before I was able to speak personally to a human being.<BR/><BR/>PS. It's a deal;)Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06089318003200939942noreply@blogger.com
