    • Automated person: Thank you for calling customer service at Virgin Mobile. My name is Alex and I'll be assisting you. Would you like to start your service, pay your bill, troubleshoot, or select other options.
    • Me: Uh, start my service.
    • Alex: I do not understand what you just said. Please repeat.
    • Me: START. YOUR. SER. VICE.
    • Alex: To pay your bill using a prepaid debit, cred...
    • Me: TALK TO HUMAN.
    • Alex: I'm sorry, I still cannot understand you.
    • Me: PERSON THAT BREATHES OXYGEN
    • Alex: Could you please repeat yourself.
    • Me: GODDAMMIT CAN YOU CONNECT ME TO A MOTHERFUCKING HUMAN YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT??
    • Alex: I'm going to connect you to a customer service representative now.
    • Me: Bout damn time.
