One of the following two is true:
a) I was having a major psychiatric incident this morning. I called my medical provider to make sure my psych meds were ready, even though it's MLK day. I clicked on the bot buttons as required, but could not get the information I needed. When I asked to speak to a representative, I was hung up on. I am now putting on my bullet proof vest and am arming myself with a machete.
b) I was having some pretty bad back pain this morning. But I had planned ahead. I called my medical provider to make sure my pain meds were ready, even though it's MLK day. I clicked on the bot buttons as required, but could not get the information I needed. When I asked to speak to a representative, I was hung up on. I will take some extra Naproxin today and try again tomorrow.
Isn't it interesting how one small thing can change the course of history? I hope there will be no mass killings in the Bay Area today. I can stand a little pain.
Have you ever been frustrated by "bot world"?

How does a bullet-proof vest help back pain? Wouldn't the extra weight acerbate things?

I am very often frustrated by it. Hope you can get them tomorrow

Often. But I haven't felt the need to take up a machete yet.

Don't forget the (Chicago) Better Business Bureau if you do not quick resolution. I got to talk to this guy (the leader of this Canadian band) when United Broke my guitar. He helped me out. I eventually got...flight vouchers...on United Airlines.

Oh, yes, bots can drive a man to drink... lots of hot chocolate, in my case. Usually, if I can't get past the bots, I hang up on them, wait a while until I'm not so upset and then start the process all over again.
I hope your back is feeling better now, pony.
