I accidentally discovered a cheat code a few years ago, interacting with one of those IVR voice systems, as I was getting frustrated with it and eventually exclaimed "fuck!" -- its response was brilliant: "Alright.. ok.. it looks like you're having troubles. Please hold while I transfer you to a human operator."

I’ve had that work a few times, but other times, I can verbally abuse the bot all I want to no avail.
