there are just too many of those 1-800 and 1-888 toll free #s.
for example your credit card company, health insurance, stores, etc.
the only problem that really drives me crazy over the wall when
i first came to the US is that i speak english, but not
DE ENGLISH and those automated system only recognises DE ENGLISH.
yeah, it's the american english aka the yankee english.

nowadays, i do have some problem but it does not drive me crazy
anymore. i kind of recognize how to swing the accent....and it works!!
