Bill paying and automated vs real person on phone

Funny you should mention that. My cab driver had a pen with a rubber tip, worked like a charm when I tested it out. But she kept it of course because it was hers. But neither of us have been able to find that particular pen at our local dollar stores. 

I love voice command, and most of the time it works. But just with this one bill, my water bill, it is tap command, and it sucks. 

I am happy now regardless, because now my local utility gave me an 800 number to the same sub contracted company that took payments through real humans over the phone. 

When you do tap commands, on a cell phone, it is not the same as punch dial with buttons. Back when I first moved to this address I have now, in my old house, I had a old land phone, push dial. Even then if I didn't enter fast enough it would reject my entry. 

Lets face it, I grew up in an age of Atari and a joystick and one button. But even then, even back then, I sucked. Today's cell phones and video games are designed for octopi.
