I love my energy provider.
One day, the phone rings and I pick it up. There is a long dead pause.

Automated voice: This is. An Automated call. On behalf of [company name]. If. This is. The. Residence. Of Mr. [my name], please Press. The Star. Button.

I obligingly press the star button.

Automated voice: Thank you. Please hold. While we connect you. To an advisor.

So they got a robot to call me up just so they could then put me on hold. Genius.

You mean you actually listen to these automated calls?
I just hang the fuck up.

I got one the other day...
This is an automated call from [company] for [my housemate]. If you are [my housemate] press 1, otherwise press 2.

I pressed 2.

Please get [my housemate] to call [company] on [company phone number], thankyou.
And then it fell silent. What the fuck am I meant to do with that? It could have at least told me to get a pen or something.
