Is there any such thing as a one-sided conversation? I don’t mean those encounters with acquaintances where you never quite manage to get a word in edgewise. I mean more the sort of thing where you converse even though the other party has no idea that you are doing so……..

A bit like talking back to pre-recorded A-I messages, I suppose:

“Please wait, as we offer all our customers superior service and will be with you shortly.”

audiomind
“Define ’shortly,’, will ya please??….Because your dumbazz has been repeating that for a good 20 minutes! And if you have a moment, please explain to me what you mean by ’superior customer service/, because I am at a loss?”

fuck’n machine
“We have recently updated our customer response system, so please take the time to listen through ALL prompts. You now have 22 options. Press 1 if……”

audiomind
“Oh, come off it! You fucterz make such claims to discourage customers from bypassing these ludicrous prompts, which forces people FAR and AWAY from receiving the deserved personal attention you supposedly exemplify, and besides I’d rather you play techno in the ambient background as I wait for another 25 minutes! Will you fucters allow me to choose the background music to the quickly eroding timeline of my animated life?”
