Folk song about the useless and frustrating robotic, menu-driven telephone answering systems of big businesses that make customers angry - telephone answering systems designed for the profit and speed of the business rather than serving the customer.
Automatic Robot Answering Machine

well i like your song, but in all seriousness if you are having real issues i would write a letter and an email to the company, then try as hard as you can to get to them by phone…. (even try all day to get through) worse comes to worse i would report them to the better business bureau and seek possible legal action to resolve your claim. i hope it’s not too bad and you get what you want
good luck
Dear LordCorinth,
I recently tried to call the bank holding my mortgage, and as you suggest, tried the press 0 and speak to a human routine. However, I could not get through to anyone to discuss my issue. The automatic robot answering machine has gotten out of hand. What must we do?

i find, to get through, say ”speak to a human” or just press (0)… that usually works, or sometimes you have to wait, or sometimes you can never get through like when i called capitol one to try to stop their spam mail credit card offers……
Excellent! So funny, if only it weren’t so true…
Wow you are a really good guitarist
Dear RedRumRobot,
I’m glad you listened and liked the song. The automatic robot answering machine phenomenon has gotten so bad that I can’t even talk anyone at the bank that holds the mortgage on my house.
Nice song. My favorite is the systems that say: “For English, press 1″, then a few moments later: “If you’re using a touch tone phone, press 1″.
