I hate them with passion, specially the phone version.

It has become such a pain to actually speak with a human being that can sort out the problem instead of bots that follow pre-defined scripts.

Good luck when the problem doesn't fit the script and there is no option to switch to a human.

Screaming different kinds of complete random noise might force the bot to give up and switch to a human, however most of them just hang up.




They're basically just anthropomorphized search engines. I'd rather have a good search engine + FAQ page.
