You’ve seen that TV ad with the guy who travels a figurative seven circles of hell to get to an actual human when he calls his credit card company, right? (“For a shinier credit card, say Yes.” “No!”).
If you’ve ever had that frustrating experience of trying to navigate your way through a menu that’s more a maze worthy of containing a minotaur, then you will appreciate gethuman cheats, which may achieve a new high of geeky public service. The site lists dozens (hundreds, maybe) of companies and the secret phone keystroke that will take you directly to a real live actual human being, although probably one in India. (“During prompts, press * then # twice” -- quick, which meganational globocorp doesn’t want you to know that?)
There’s cheat codes, and then there’s cheat codes. Someone’s earning lots of Whuffie for this site.
