Some companies simply answer their phones. Alleluia!
Try pressing zero instead of waiting for the automatic instructions finish.
Chatteress, this is done to employ less people with hope that you can resolve your issue without speaking to live person. This saves companies money, which hopefully, will result in you paying less for their service.
Getting personal service and paying more would be nice. Many of us have to hit "O" with hopes that they companies then employ more people.
Your pet peeve is a common one! It takes like 15 minutes or more to resolve anything!

What happened to the good old days when pregnant women had the modesty and grace to wear mu-mu's, or at least baggy clothing? Oh, I suppose many defneders of these modern mommies-to-be will counter my peeve with the tired old adage, "Hey, it's a natural thing, having a baby; why bother to cover it up?"
LOL--well hell, takin' a dump is natural too, but most of us don't flaunt that in public.
Cover up ladies: we don't wanna see.
OOH Yeah! This drives me bonkers especially when the ladies belly button is poking out.

How about unsolicited calls about home improvements or refinancing mortgages without first checking to see if you are calling a home owner or apartment renter.

I cannot tolerate when people toss their still-smoldering butts! What if something flammable gets ignited?

This irks me to no end! I'm 5'3" and have difficulties finding pants (even the so-called petites are too long) and long skirts that are not too long for me.
