sometimes robots just get me.

UPS Robot Lady: You can say "Track another package" or "More choices."

Me: More choices!

UPS Robot Lady: OK. You can say, "Send a package," "Shipping info," or "Order supplies."

Me:

UPSRL: I'm sorry. I didn't get that. You can say, "Send a package," "Shipping info," or "Order supplies."

Me:

UPSRL: I'm sorry. I still didn't get that. You can say, "Send a package," or press 1, "Shipping info," or press 2, or "Order supplies," or press 3.

Me: I WANT TO TALK TO A FUCKING LIVE PERSON.

UPSRL: Ok. I'll transfer you to an agent now.
