Dont follow it in a logical order. Press buttons that it doesnt understand and it will eventually give up on you and put you through to the Bangladeshi operator you desire

 

On most systems, pressing the # key bypasses the options and puts you through to someone - or at least in the queue for someone

I do this all the time. I also keep my phone plugged into the charger even though it's fully charged. Apparently it's mean to ruin the battery, but who cares? :P 

Shouldnt do on a modern phone. They have circuitry to stop drawing power once the battery is full. Lithium ion batteries life is based on the number of times they are charged :geek

Ooh, those voice-activated automated answering services that the government have rolled out. Fucking useless.

"Please tell us what what you're calling about so we can best deal with your call."
"The bill for my National Insurance payments is incorrect."
"Are you calling to set up a direct debit for your National Insurance payments?"
"No. The total quoted on my National Insurance statement is wrong, and I'd like to have it amended."
"Are you calling for a forecast of your state pension?"
"No. I've been sent an erroneous invoice for my National Insurance contributions and need to talk to someone about it."
"Are you calling to ask us your National Insurance number?"
"NO, DAMN YOU, I CAN'T THINK OF ANOTHER WAY OF PHRASING IT!"  *cries*

Thank God it times out after a few attempts. I think it puts you in the queue at the start of the call anyway, and the whole thing is to hide the amount of time you'll be waiting.

When someone leaves a charger on without the phone or that In It, just fucking don't.

My wife has a real problem with switching off sockets.

Her favourite at the moment is when we are charging the electric toothbrush she will lift it from the port and leave the thing on.

Is switching the socket off too much of a drag yer highness?

Went to the casino in Vienna on Sunday night and had a spree on the blackjack tables. €800 up at one point, before the drink kicked in and I got stupid. Staggered away after losing the lot, or so I thought. I found €100 in chips in my trousers back pocket when sorting my clothes out when I got home last night.
