Fuck Chummy Robot Voices

I've had occasion to cancel a bunch of services in the last couple of days, and I have to say, I'd far rather talk to some incoherent foreigner over a bad connection than the stupid-ass robotic help person on Verizon's customer service line.

The funny thing is, actual Verizon humans have all been easy to deal with and tend to have a mastery of unaccented English. So why did they decide that their robot needs to be my friend?

On the plus side, at least chummy robots don't have to struggle with scripted inducements to PLEASE STAY, WE'LL MAKE YOU THE SAME OFFER OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR 30 MORE DAYS EACH TIME!!!

D'oh!
