I Hate Autocorrect

Even though I divorced autocorrect, it still apparently has visitation rights and like many exes, it chooses to make its presence known via broad sarcasm.

If I typo 'me too' as 'metoo' it offers these: me-too, meto, metoo.

And it wonders why I left.

Yep, like those automated phone systems that give you a list of choices and when you don't respond right away it assumes you are stupid and gives you an option for help. I don't want help, I just want to talk to a HUMAN. I don't need a phone system with an attitude.

Exactly. Also, is it accidental those menus never offer the option you want? I think not.@lasergraph

@Mamapolo2016 The menu options have changed EVERY time.

@lasergraph It drives me over the edge when I patiently and faithfully answer 20 'screening' questions and then it hangs up on me or we circle back to where I came in.

Also, most caught on to frustrated users trying to bypass the trauma by pressing 0 and ( wailing) it doesn't work anymore. That snippy electronic voice says, "I'm sorry. You have selected an invalid option. Whaddya, DEAF?"

@lasergraph Notice how those automatic phone systems never have an option that says: "If you want to close your account, press ... , or say 'close my account' ".

@Heartlander 'Zactly. And most often, that kind of motivation is often why I'm calling.
