I call Johns Hopkins to schedule a routine appointment with my oncologist.
"Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah... press this press that, press 3 if you want to make an appointment."
I press 3, and I'm transferred to another line that play the same bloody classical music that played when I was actually hospitalized there and had to call to order my meals.
I experience super nice flashbacks due to that music. (Nice as in "not nice." More like I wish the dinning service would be cast into hell, kinda "nice.")
Music music music "Press 1 if you want to leave a message." What do I do now???? Do I press 1 and risk being dropped or my phone exploding? Do I hang up and try to get my oncologist some other way? I really don't want to be a bother to him.
:why:
Music music music. I decide to press 1. And it does...
... nothing.
:headache:
Apparently, you have to press 1 in the small window of time that the phone tree allows you to do it. I wait for the right time, press 1, live my information, and hang up.
Johns Hopkins literally saved my life, but dealing with their phone tree is such pain.
