Ah!. The curse of the Third Millennium. And even worse is when you DO eventually (assuming you do) get to someone with a heartbeat, your call has routed to downtown BFE and the person on the other end has an accent so thick you can cut it with a knife.

One thing that has worked for me. If the robot starts down that interminable "options" list, just say "customer service". It may take a time or two, increasing the volume of your voice each time. I've found that blaring "CUSTOMER BLEEPING SERVICE!!!" into the phone after the third or fourth time can bring the result you want. Or they just hang up on you.
