I got angry and slammed my phone down waiting on one....broke the Otterbox....thought that wasn't supposed to happen. Anyway, I came from an era with it's own twist on how children should behave don't be seen...nor heard" I get the same feeling from automated systems. When I was young, I'd try to say something, I'd be told to wait until it was "the right time, later...." speaking or dealing with problems...always had to wait...so I guess I just don't like waiting.....sometimes over an hour on the phone....and still often I assume again, I'll get incomplete or no resolution after wasting my time. It's gotten worse in Covid here. Automated systems are rude and impersonal...so were my parents about communicating with me. So, I realized if I say things to confuse the automated answering machine, it will put me in line to speak to a customer service agent.....I did have one admonish me for cussing at it, though.</p></blockquote><p></p>
