With the man having long since strayed from the familiar path of the toll-free numbers main menu, sources confirmed that local Comcast customer Michael Hadlow had entered the remote backwoods of the cable companys automated phone system Tuesday afternoon. I think a few questions ago I was supposed to hit 6 instead of 8, and now I dont know how to go back, said a disoriented Hadlow, who, as he blindly stumbled deeper into the uncharted hinterlands regarding appointment scheduling and equipment installation options, held onto a brief glimmer of hope that the prerecorded voice would throw him a lifeline by asking if he would like to speak to a customer service assistant. I need them to send me a new modem, but now it just keeps listing sports channel packages available for purchase. Ive cycled through it twice now. Jesus, how did I get here? After finding himself at a dead end in the furthest reaches of the systems landline pricing plans, Hadlow reportedly managed to escape by hanging up the phone and immediately redialing the 1-800 number.
