Two thoughts this morning (from my garage as I workout).
(1) Why is it when you call a large company, like Charter (my cable provider), that the first thing the computer asks you to do is enter your phone number, area code first. Then you wait. And wait.
And wait.
Then, you reach a real live person. And what’s the first thing they ask you?
“Yes, can I have your phone number, area code first?”
Why, dear person, did I give my number to the computer first? Isn’t there some way for that information to be passed from your computer to you?
(2) it’s precariously dangerous to listen to Brian Regan’s comedy routine while bench pressing with no spot. Just saying.

AMEN brother!!! I HATE that. That happens to me all the time and it is so annoying. I usually just keep pressing * or 0 until I get to the operator because I don’t want to waste time putting in phone numbers, account numbers, etc when all they are going to do is ask me for it again when I talk to a human.

Here’s an excellent link with how to skip all the recordings and get right to a person for pretty much any company you can think of. http://www.gethuman.com/
