:lol: Sorry, about that.  I could't resist. ;-)

Now, I will behave.

Yea, these answering machine are not fun for the caller.  I have had to make phone calls to take care of a problem.  The automated response system did not cover the issue that I had.  All phone numbers I could find for them was funneled to the same line.  I needed to talk to a human, but all I got was one of the "press 1" "press 2" menus.  They used to have a menu option to talk with a human and a menu fall through for people with the old make/break dials.  Now the human option is gone, and rather than falling through to a human if you don't press a button they just hang up on you.

Fortunatly they still let you talk to a human, if the machine gets confused.  So, I have been pressing many crazy button combinations.  Selecting menu options that don't exist.  Pressing too many buttons for a given reply, etc.  So, enough of those replies, the machine either has a nervious breakdown or thinks that I am such an idiot, that I am then put on hold to talk with a human!  It takes about five minutes to convince the machine to pass me through that way.
