I find those speech recognition menus quite annoying. American Airlines has one that's just not good enough over a lower bitrate cell voice link in a crowded situation when you're trying to determine what's the deal with cancelled flights or whatnot along with everyone else in the plane. Always have to waste a minute for it to decide that it's going to punt to a real person. It would be nice if there was a way to bypass it.
say "agent" and keep repeating that word until it understands you. That will bypass the menus, and take you to a person.
