I wish I had an estimate of how much time and money has been wasted listening to this crap. Let alone how much it costs to do bilingual.
No kidding.
Let’s say you waste 8 seconds on each call listening to that crap. Maybe 50 million calls per day in the USA that have to listen to that? That’s 400 MILLION seconds of our citizens time wasted every single day in the USA. There are 3,600 seconds per hour.
That’s over 11,000 hours of American lives wasted every single day listening to that crap. That’s 12 person-years wasted every single day. In six days, you’ve wasted the entire life on ONE AMERICAN.
Staggering.
(I hope my math is right)
