Can we talk about those automated phone systems? You know, the ones that make you feel like you're trapped in a maze, and the only way out is to press "0" repeatedly until someone takes pity on you. I called a company the other day, and the automated voice says, "Please listen carefully, as our menu options have changed." Really? Because I'm pretty sure the only option I want is to talk to a real human being, not navigate through a labyrinth of robotic voices.
And they always say, "Your call may be recorded for quality purposes." Quality purposes? I'm pretty sure it's for entertainment purposes on their end. They gather their employees in the break room and play the funniest customer meltdowns of the week.
"Press 1 for English, 2 for Spanish." I feel like I'm choosing a language to unlock the secrets of the universe. I half-expect Morgan Freeman's voice to come on and say, "Congratulations, you've chosen the language of enlightenment."
But my favorite part is when they say, "Your estimated wait time is..." They could say anything at this point, and we'd believe it. "Your estimated wait time is 5 minutes." Translation: Pack a lunch, you're in for the long haul.
So, here I am, pressing buttons like I'm playing some weird phone-based video game. Can we just bring back the good old days when you called a number and a real person answered? Is that too much to ask for in the age of automation?

Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about customer service. You know, that magical place where your problems go to live forever. I called customer service the other day, and I swear I entered an alternate dimension. It's like they have a secret training program on how to drive people insane. So, I'm on the line, right? The automated voice says, "Your call is important to us." If my call was so important, you'd think they'd hire more than two people to answer the phones. I'm stuck in a queue longer than a Marvel movie, and I'm starting to believe I'm the star of "The Waiting Game: Endgame."
Finally, a human comes on the line. I explain my problem, and they hit me with the classic, "I'm sorry to hear that." Oh, you're sorry? Well, I'm sorry I have to talk to you. It's like a sorry-off. Who can be more sorry? Spoiler alert: it's never the customer service representative.
And have you noticed they always put you on hold when they need to "check something"? What are they checking? The weather? The latest celebrity gossip? Maybe they're watching cat videos on YouTube, and suddenly they realize, "Oh yeah, I have a customer on the line!"
Customer service is like a reverse therapy session. Instead of feeling better, you end up more frustrated and questioning your life choices. It's the only place where the hold music becomes a soundtrack to your existential crisis.

Let's talk about IT guys. You know, those wizards behind the scenes who fix our computer problems with a wave of their keyboard. They're like modern-day magicians, but instead of pulling rabbits out of hats, they're pulling your lost files out of the digital abyss. I had an issue with my computer, so I called IT. The guy shows up, and I swear, he's like a secret agent. He walks in wearing all black, like he's about to infiltrate a top-secret government facility. I'm half expecting him to say, "The code is corrupted, but I can fix it. This message will self-destruct in five seconds."
And the language they use! It's like they speak in a different dialect. "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" Oh, really? I didn't think of that groundbreaking solution. I thought I'd just let my computer meditate for a while, see if that helps.
But here's the thing, the moment they start typing, it's like they're composing a symphony. Click-clack, click-clack. It's the sound of your problems being erased and replaced with the sweet melody of a functioning computer. I'm convinced they're not typing anything. It's just for show, to make us believe they possess some ancient IT wisdom.

Have you ever been to a restaurant where the server is so enthusiastic, you start questioning if they've had one too many espressos? I went to this place the other day, and the server was so excited, I thought they were going to break into a cheerleading routine. They come to the table like, "Hey there! How's everyone doing tonight?" It's like, "Well, I was doing fine until you showed up and threw this energy bomb in our faces." I half expected them to pull out pom-poms and start chanting, "Give me an F, give me an O, give me an R, give me an K!"
And the specials. Oh boy, the specials. They describe them with such passion, as if they personally handpicked each vegetable and whispered words of encouragement to the chicken before it became your dinner. "Tonight's special is a delicate fusion of flavors, a dance of culinary excellence." Dude, it's just a sandwich with extra cheese.
I appreciate the enthusiasm, I really do, but can we dial it down a bit? I don't need my server to be my life coach. I just want my food without a side of over-the-top excitement.
