I hate, absolutely HATE HATE HATE the mile-long voice mail you have to wade thru when calling, say, the phone company's repair service number... and of all the 'options' you are given, none of them is what you need and there's no option to SPEAK TO A HUMAN BEING!!
Tried calling 411 this morning to find a phone number out of state. Dialed 1-411, as I've always done in the past, and got a "sorry, your call cannot be completed as dialed" message. Tried dialing 0 for the operator, got the same message. Called 611, the (old?) repair number. Same message. Called the repair number listed in the phone book and had to go thru so much voice-mail-options ******** I was ready to SCREAM!! And I looked in the phone book and there's no "411" or any other information number listed!!!
This modern voice-mail-technology is SO IRRITATING!!! All I want to do is speak to a real live person!!! My issue is not addressed in all their time consuming "options"!!!
