You know, the ones that won't even let you pretend you don't have a Touchtone phone. He said that screaming, "Dwarfs are attacking, dwarfs are attacking," tended to get you to a live agent faster than saying "help" or "agent" or "operator." Speaking of Touchtone, back in the early 90s, we used IVR equipment to do some surveys. One of the most common complaints was that we were biased against conservatives because Touchtone service cost an extra buck a month and only dam-fool liberals would pay that. As part of that project, I was watching the console and noticed a lot of errors coming from one port, so I dialed into it to see if maybe the prompts were misfiring. The system used unfortunate wording if the person didn't enter their choices from the keypad. It would say, "I didn't hear your response." The elderly gentlemen at the other end of the line was screaming at the top of his voice, "What do you MEAN you can't hear my response. I'm yelling as loud as I can." Some votes just didn't deserve to be counted. My boss hated IVR systems. You know, the ones that won't even let you pretend you don't have a Touchtone phone.
