Only, Only Wanting Contact

Nearly everyone in modern America has been trapped in the labyrinthine maze that is trying to get a real human being on the phone when calling customer service. I myself encountered this recently when I called Westgate Cinemas to find out if their ad for Night Watch in The Onion was correct or whether the ad in Isthmus showing Transamerica playing was right.

And so I present GetHuman, a listing of what buttons to push at various customer service numbers to get a living, breathing human being on the other end of the phone. (Via Dispatches From the Culture Wars.)
