I must be getting old, because I’m starting to prefer phone calls. I don’t want to spend 10 minutes teaching your goddamn chat bot how to understand my problem. I just want to tell another human being so it becomes their problem to fix it.
Had that experience with Comcast about 2 weeks ago. Took 15 minutes and three attempts to get to a representative. The chat bot couldn’t figure out what I meant when I said I needed my cable buried again. On a side note it’s been 2 weeks and they still haven’t sent anyone out to bury it again 🤦♂️
I was in the “I hate calls” camp when I was younger, but I have realized that a call takes way less time than an email chain or texts. Also, it is extremely gratifying to tell someone to fuck off on a call, especially a scammer.

Annoying thing is the phone system they use to divert your call. It feels almost intentional to get us not to speak to a representative.
“Almost”?

They’re too busy charging people for going over the monthly cap.
I AM old and fuck calls…
But I’m not a good meter, burned out early on tier 1 helpdesk and am a hermit by nature.
That’s okay. : )
