I just keep repeating "operator" ad nauseam not stopping for anything other than the sound of the call transferring and that almost always works.

I just keep blowing raspberries down the line until I'm connected to a human.

There are or course some asshole companies whose bots are designed to never connect you to a human and just hang up after a while.

Better just play operator.ogg use your favorite media player on loop until someone does pick up.

For some reason your reply immediately caused me to imagine Ross Geller shouting into the phone, "Operator", like the, "Pivot" scene from friends.
