The machines got tired of being yelled at.

Today I found out that the bots have starting calling people who answer your questions "consultants" on phone trees now. Which is not nearly as satisfying to scream into the phone as OPERATOR! Nothing makes me as fighting mad as phone trees. Colossal waste of time.

When I told Mr S of this new development he said - well yeah, they got tired of being yelled at. Next they will call themselves "conversation artists."

Try screaming that into a phone. It ~is~ sort of so ridiculous that it takes the mad out of it.

    You just haven't fully embraced the power of not giving a shit about following other people's rules. :-)

    I can see where this is going though.

    "But excuse me Meester Capital of Texas Refugee, what is a retromingent cockfart? I am trying to understand your request."

    Do you have a dictionary of nasty biological words, agent on the line?

    I'll wait. :-)
