"They have a voice recognition system. I kept asking it for customer service. It kept apologizing for not knowing what I had said. I resorted to incomprehensibility. 'Take me to your leader.' 'A penny saved is a penny that doesn't get stuck between your toes.' When I got to 'Klaatu barada nikto, Gort,' it decided to send me to a real person." -- [livejournal.com profile] shalanna, 20060901

Last time I observed [livejournal.com profile] bfudlmint try to hack into a voice maze, he managed to get a human in record time by, at the very first promtping, quite loudly and clearly declaring "Spinach!".

Magic!

Many, not all, but many PBXs allow you to press 0 at any time which routes you to a human being. The trick is, they don't always tell you that you can do that, so if you're really wanting to get a human being and it isn't listed in the menu of options, try it and see if it works.

Or try a random mix of French, German, and Klingon. Or the name of NYS's governor. Sounds like a Klingon breakfast food.

You've always had a crush on Mario Cuomo. Admit it. Okay.
