Operator Assistance

It happens every time: we call 411 for a phone number, and a computer voice offers to assist us.  We ask for, say, the number for Joe's Deli and without fail the voice comes back and says, "Could you repeat that?"

Like we're speaking Swahili. 

So we repeat it and the voice says, "You want the number for Snow and Perillis.  Is that right?" 

"No!" we shout.  "No and again no!"

"Did you say yes?"

"No!"

"Could you repeat that?"

"We want to speak to a living breathing person!"

"Sucks to be you, doesn't it?"
