I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.
I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.
This. Like the idiot AI who answers the phone, gives you 3 choices for why you're calling and rejects all answers outside that parameter. Or you hold for 45 minutes and they disconnect you.
When calling someone and after the phone has rung four or five times you might get this message: "The person that you're are trying to call is not available right now, please try again later."
As if you did not already realize that by the fact that they did not answer.

Well said!! If you'll send me your email, I'll write you a five-star yelp review. 🤣🤣🤣
“We’re sorry, the number you’ve dialed is no longer in service. Please hang up and try your call again.”

What happened to dial 2 for Spanish?
All the people that record that were deported.
