Everyone knows the frustration of ringing up an international business
or brothel , then getting that electronic voice menu. For people who are
not familiar or dont know what im talking about, let me jog your memory.
"Welcome to big large soulless bastard company. To speak with an
Indian call centre operator who doesn't understand English press 1. To get
disconnected immediately press 2. To wait another hour on the phone please
hold." Then some dodgy music from 1908 starts playing over the line.
If you've been stuck on the side of the road while its pissing down with
rain will know how ulcer-inducing this can be. Fortunately, scientists
from the university of Hebel have founded a revolutionary new way to serve
customers on the phone. Insane urine soaked man on park bench news
reporters talked to the inventor of the system, Ogfam Rechdehitler, from
Germany.
"After years of waiting on the phone to be served i created a machine
that links directly to the brain of the manager of the company. After a
simple operation, the CEO will be able to receive calls directly to his or
her cranium, without the need for voice menu prompts. If the manager does
not answer said enquiry within a certain timeframe, a large electric shock
will be administered, and will continue until an answer has been
given". Mr Rechdehitler also hopes this will actually make CEO's do a
bit of work, instead of sitting around getting paid extravagant amounts of
money for making coffee.
