maybe computers shouldnt replace EVERYONE's job. seriuosly.
i just called pizza hut to get some delivery. i did not reach a live person. i got "Lisa" - the personal order taker. a computer. a really happy-sounding one at that. First, she tried to "guess" what i wanted. then i was trying to order a plain pizza, and somehow she got out of that "a pizza with red onions." and i kept saying no, and she kept saying "OK, so that's a pizza with red onions?" we played that game for about 5 minutes. then she said "anything else?" and i ordered an order of breadstix. she said "OK, so that's... another pizza?" and proceeded to ask me what toppings i wanted. so after losing my patience and shouting at this computer (a lot of good that did, i'm sure), she FINALLY got my order. then she says "Your order will be delivered at 5:33am. Time is now 9:26pm." WTF?! and how do they know where i live?
i'm really confused. surely pizza hut is not soooooo busy right now that they need a computer to take orders. oh, and the best part is, the call takes FOREVER because after each thing that you say, "Lisa" has to 'type in the order'. you actually have to sit there and listen to some prerecorded audio of computer keys being pressed for like, 30 seconds while she supposedly types it in. its ing ridiculous.
argh. ok just had to get that off my chest. i'm going to sit here and wait for my pizza to show up now. |

any type of automated phone service is annoying. theres certain things a computer cannot replace.
calling cingular is always fun too, i press 0 about 20 times then they transfer my call to a real person |

What's even better is that all of your buying and spending habits (including the electronic pizza orders) will soon be compiled into one database, so you can forget about not claiming all of your bartending tips to the IRS.
(Money will be electronic as well.) :eek: :toothless |

Same with the Social Security Office. The best part there is how you spend 10-15 minutes hitting numbers, then have the voice tell you that for that request, you must call the following number, then "thank you, goodbye" and hangs up on you. Does anyone remember "Choose Your Own Adventure" books from the mid-80's? It's the exact same thing, where you make the wrong decision at some point and then die/get arrested/etc and have to restart the story. |

:haha: This was hilarious! Thanks for sharing.
However, being cursed with a danish accent, I can promise you that speech recognition is not only a problem for software: I've had plenty of weird meals when ordering fast food from someone who sports a spanish/latin accent themselves. Quite a lot of times, they either get upset with me, or simply nod and give me something which might or might not be what I'm ordering... |
