Found this: http://www.gethuman.com/us/

It's a list of how to quickly bypass all those computer messages at many companies. Kind of cool.

That's a pretty nifty collection there. Nice find.
I like my water with hops, malt, hops, yeast, and hops.

Nice find, some of these get pretty complicated

"Say "yes"; enter report #; enter social security #; say "yes" to confirm; say "agent," at each prompt, then "yes" to confirm, ignoring other requests."

I like this one, it's original: Don't press or say anything, ignoring prompts. When offered customer service say "Yes."

I've found that in most cases if I keep pounding the 0 key, I eventually get a human. Generally it may take as much as 4 or 5 times but it works.

The thing that bugs me, well one of many, is that I need to enter my account number, zip code, last 4 digits of my social (or the whole thing) then when I get a human I have to do the whole thing again. I'm now mashing the 0 key before I even get to that point.

Same here. I give them all the information they, allegedly, need only to have to repeat it again. So now I don't bother anymore.

I love talking my computer, too, but I hate talking to their computers.
