We’ve all experienced calling a customer service number and getting a computer. (These things are called Interactive Voice Response or IVR for short.)
Sometimes pressing “0” or just waiting will get you to a human faster. But every system seems a little different. Now, thanks to gethuman.com, you can breeze through (or past) these annoying prompts and get right to a real live operator. Check out their database of IVR shortcuts.
This stuff is golden.
