The automated woman scares me.........

I'm checking my balances and this woman asks me for my account number. She even responds. I almost feel guilty when I hang up without having her finish her spiel.(shpiel?)

the ATMs in my neighborhood have started talking over the last few months, and they have this creepy medicated sounding british woman voice. whenever the ATM gives me money, i always say "thank you, mary poppins!"

I hate those things! Especially the voice recognition ones. I called a phone company recently and it went something like this:

Robot woman: ...and in order to direct you to the right department I'd like to ask what you are calling about. For example you can say things like "change of address" or "order high speed internet".

Me: Billing information.

Robot woman: I'm sorry, I do not understand.

Me: Billing.

Robot woman: I'm sorry, I do not understand.

Me: Bill.

Robot woman: I'm sorry, I do not understand.

Me: @#€&{@"£!!!

Robot woman: I'm sorry, I do not understand.

Me: (sigh) Order high speed internet.

Robot woman: I heard "order high speed internet". Is that correct?

Me: Yeeeees...

Robot woman: I'm sorry I do not understand.

i don't know if its the same with ALL call centers but i know with most of the ones i deal with (both on a personnal and professional level) if you simply say 'agent' at the first opportune moment then it transfers you to a human.


wink
you're only as old as you feel..............so how old do i feel horny

Now that food has replaced sex in my life, I can't even get into my own pants.
