A pet peeve
You know how you call customer service, and the automated system always makes you enter your phone number (or account number or whatever). Right. So why is it that 100% of the feckin’ time, when you finally get a human on the line, they immediately ask you for your phone number (or account number or whatever you already entered into damned system).

Next time, I’m going to enter a bogus phone number to see what happens.
In the meantime, here’s a neat tool to have around – the IVR Cheat Sheet, which tells you how to bypass automated systems and get live humans on the phone…..
