Did that today. Trying to get a set-top-box. Gave 2 phone numbers. "We cannot find your account." Then: "We see that you owe $972.15 in back fees." Motherfucker, if you don't know who I am, how the holy fuck do you know I owe you a grand?!?

No, I have never and will never side with a person making noise over normal speaking volume in a public place, unless they're specifically at like, a sports event, or a protest.

I especially love those automated systems that supposed to reply to your voice prompt, but in fact react to any lowest sound within 30 feet. ME: *farts* PHONE: You have selected lobotomy surgery, please confirm yes or no.

Old voice recognition systems were not made to handle the codec compression artifacts brought on by cell phones; or the trip to the tower is 99% of the issue and the fill-ins from packet loss confuse it. These systems are fucking expensive, and many are still from the 90s.
