I had to call a company today at work, and they had one of those fancy automated receptionist systems. The conversation went something like this (I changed the names to protect the innocent):
Automated receptionist: Hi, welcome to ACME services. Please say the complete name of the person you want to reach.
Me: Giuseppe Verdi.
AR: Did you say 'Ludwig van Beethoven' ?
Me: No. (rolling eyes)
AR: Was it 'Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart' ?
Me: No. (talking to myself) Shakespeare.
AR: Was that a 'yes' ?
Me: (*sigh*)
AR: Thank you. I will now transfer you to 'Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart'.
Me: *hang up*
The best part of it was that the automated system spoke really slowly, as if I was the one with a hearing problem.

They're decomposing, composers
There's less of them every year
You can still talk to, Beethoven
But there's not much of him left to hear...

My voicemail doesn't bother telling people their call is important. And I don't tell them to "have a nice day" at the end either. I wonder if I should get rid of the "thanks for calling" while I'm at it.

Now that I gave you my number, I'm thinking of changing my voicemail message to a single word: "DONKEY!"

The second time I called, I did not want to deal with the automated thing again, so I pressed zero to talk to a human person. But then I was told that Giuseppe Verdi had been deceased for over 100 years and never actually worked for the company.

I hate it when I receive phone calls and I answer it with the standard greeting and It's a Frost-ing answering machine designed to make the calls for people.

If you want to speak to Mr. R. Runner, our President and CEO, press 1...
If you're Wile E. Coyote complaining about your order, tough Shakespeare.
