I assume your complaint is in relation to an attempt to contact either a business or government department.
But I am finding it applies increasingly to individuals - especially kids! They spend 90% of their waking life with a phone in their hand. Snap/WhatsApp messages will be replied to in seconds. Actually try calling.... nothing.

Everyone really, not just kids. Me and my better half’s favourite game when someone calls is to look at phone, look at each other and say “I wonder who that is?”, before letting it ring out. We then spend the next 5 mins Googling the number to see who it might have been . The in-laws are the same.

If it helps, I recently uncovered my old tape library and found Viz: Blue Honeymoon. Featuring R-r-roy Chchchubby Arsse!

I'm all for this, I've always hated talking on the phone. My late Dad and I were well known for our phone calls which would consist of a series of grunts spaced across 30 seconds before we hung up.
No idea when I began here, was a very long time ago. Previously known as Spirit_of_81. Love cheese, hate the colour of it, this is why it requires some blue in it.
I was able to call ESPN the other night and speak to an actual live person, to ask them why their streaming was foooked and not showing our game. Was on the phone for 12 minutes with this woman who then confirmed there was a technical difficulty. YES I KNOW THAT, IT’S WHY I’M CALLING. She then, in true helpdesk style, suggested i log out and back in again. Given the ending, a really fun night. Grrrrr.

Change your number so they don't know it is you and maybe they might answer it. It could be because it says parent on the screen when you call.

Good. Anyone who has ever worked in customer service knows phone support is a thankless task.
Vague waffling descriptions of the issue, lack of information, misinformation, lack of clarity, distracting background noise all common factors in phone support that make it shlt for everyone involved.

I suggest that anyone who doesn’t wish to be paid for trying to help customers who’ve had a problem as a result of using their company, seeks alternative employment.
Customers don’t get paid for the hours and days of their own time that they spend trying to get problems such as non-deliveries of goods that are described as‘delivered’, resolved via email, or even worse, the useless chat bots.

Why not "live chat" with us?
That has got to be the most instantly annoying thing that appears EVERYWHERE on the Internet....especially as its anything but live !

Booked a blood test today, had to phone after the Swift Queue portal locked me out. Took about five minutes of explaining different options and protocols before the option of actually speaking to someone. Must say, it was fairly quick after that.
