Not sure if you are aware of the 'joke' here but there's a show called 'The IT crowd' and that's the guy's tag line...

I hate it when tech support accidentally ushers in the 3rd impact.

Well I mean it doesn't happen all that often. But when it does it takes forever to clean all of the tang off the ground.

the human instrumentality project is the aim to have everyone on hold to tech support at the same time.

As a longstanding member of the IT community, I loathe dealing with IT. Especially when my calls go about like this:

Me: "Hello, this is [me], the systems admin at [my job]. I'm having [x] issue with your [product]. These are the steps I've gone through to resolve [long list of troubleshooting steps goes here] and I'd like to request [solution] to quickly resolve the issue."

Them: "Okay, thank you for calling [company] today, I'd be glad to assist you. Have you tried [what I stated was my first step]?

Me: "Yes, I have. Along wi[interruption]"

Them: "Okay, I'd like you to try this. [Repeat my initial troubleshooting steps, verbatim]"

Me: "Would you just transfer me to tier 3 please? I need this done immed[interruption]"

Them: "Okay, would you try [again my initial steps, verbatim]?"
