How to Outsmart Phone Menus

Annoying Phone Menus

outsmarting phone menus,how to bypass phone menus,

I just discovered this and wanted to share it with you  - in case you were unaware.

You know when you call a business or other place and get the eternal menus – chock full of choices?  Press “1″ for this, Press “2″ for that, Press “3″ if you’re an idiot, etc.  I just called the DMV and went through about three menus (each one full of options), yet none of the options were to talk to somebody!  None of their options matched what I needed to know and I got tired of going through more and more menus at every step.  I am simply not this patient.

How do  you bypass all of this if you just want to talk to someone?  Very simple.

This word: ‘jisdguwehrjokjmhjeaqujhpuigrhea’

Or if you prefer you can say ‘boogityboogityboogity’

Of course, if it makes you feel better, you can cuss them out – because it’s just a machine!

You may have to repeat something – anything not understandable, 3 or 4 times but eventually the system will realize it will never “get” what you are trying to tell it you and then you will hear ‘We are having trouble understanding you, please wait for an operator’ or something similar.

Ahhhh much better.  It really is gratifying – try it sometime! I no longer deal with phone menus :)

    O.K. that is just too funny! I never even thought of doing that! Sadly we are getting ready to put one of these in at work and are trying to figure out how to not get people to keep pressing 0!

    I love the picture. Too funny. I usually smash "0" until it tells me to hold for an operator. Of course sometimes that backfires and it hangs up on me. :(
