        Hitting 0 on 99.9% of these systems gets you to a person.

          I was just about to say that I just press 0, *, and # over and over until I get a person. And sometimes that person catches an earful of my rage, but I don't feel bad because they chose to answer phones for a living.

            My vote for worst tech ever is for the machine that cuts out those insipid vinyl stickers with the stick figure families. I'd love to go upside that idiot's head.

                  I don't know that faxing is the worst.

                  I'd say email is to faxing what radio is to ham.

                  Some day when the world burns and our enemies have destroyed the web, there will be nerds faxing each other over POTS.

                    I don't know if faxing is the worse either, but it is still one of the worse. Honestly though shouldn't printers be on the list, at the least the crappy ones?

                                  Floppy disks were great when there was no other removable storage that a normal person could afford.

                                        yeah it's probably my favorite oatmeal comic.

                                          I work at a law firm. So depending on how far a case dates back to we still deal with old tech. We have a Sony 3.5" floppy drive that connects via USB. We have even thought about trying to find 5.25" floppy to USB.
