50 Funny Tweets About Customer Service to Pass the Time While You’re on Hold

The generation gap between Boomers and Zoomers is one for the ages (pun unavoidable). They may never agree on the concepts of wealth disparity, the right way to apply for a job or when it’s okay to berate restaurant workers (the correct answer being never), but even amid such vast differences, there’s one thing that brings together these seemingly disparate groups: Wanting to speak to an actual human when calling a customer-service hotline. 

Whether you were born in 1956 or 2006, no one — and I do mean no one — likes spending hours navigating a labyrinth of menu options while repeating the phrase “Speak to a representative!” at increasingly high volumes into your phone. 

The only even remotely worthwhile thing to come out of it? These hilarious tweets. From the crime that can never be forgiven to an Italian tactic the rest of us should adopt, they will rebuild your sanity after hours of being on hold.
