sweething: Get Human!

Hate talking to those automated answering services? Me, too. It really chaps my @ss to call places and have to sit on hold with a computer for seventeen minutes while waiting for a real live person to FINALLY pick up. And sometimes, when you push 0 to short circuit the system, the thing just hangs upon you. Grrrr. Well here's the solution:

GetHuman.com

Just as its name suggests, this site provides callers with the best way to "get a human" when calling a company. Whether it's an insider's trick (like pressing *## for Western Union), just hitting 0, or doing nothing at all (they'll think you have a rotary phone), you'll be spending a lot more time getting your problem solved and a lot less time in automated purgatory. And with hundreds of companies listed — from AAA to Yahoo! — chances are you'll find the human you're looking for.
You'll also find Caller Tips and a Discussion Board on gethuman.com, so you can share your discoveries with (or ask for help from) other users and find the best way to locate the phone numbers you're looking for.

Next time you need to get in touch with a business, don't go through another button-pushing marathon — get a human


SWEET!!!
