Husband:I’m so frustrated!
Wife:what’s wrong,Jim?
Husband:I called the electronics shop to find out
what time they close,and it took me twenty minutes
to get what I wanted!
Wife:Twenty minutes just to find out
what their business hours are?
Husband:yes.They have some sort of digital receptionist.
So when I called in,a machine told me to push a button
for the department I wanted to be transferred to.
Wife:Oh,I hate getting voicemail instead of a person.
What did you do?
Husband:I just kept pushing buttons.
I was transferred to customer service,
but there a machine told me to choose between technical help,
warranty information,or price information.
Wife:Couldn’d you choose to be transferred to a real person?
Husband:Eventually I did get to a real person.
I found out the closing time,
but by then the store had already closed!
