I don’t know if I agree with the content necessarily but do find it funny if I’m following right.
When on the phone with an automated system, many of them will bypass to a real person if they hear certain phrases, “representative” being a very commonly used one. I think it’s saying the way you say representative reflects your true self, whether you just calmly repeat “representative”, or yell “REPRESENTATIVE” at the robot until someone picks up lol
You’re so lucky. The voice ones suck because you have to be somewhere really quiet and if anyone is around to hear you, they can get info on what you’re calling about. It can be embarrassing.
I asked chatgpt to explain it…surprisingly not bad:
This is humorous because it suggests that speaking to an automated phone system in a certain way—often out of frustration when trying to reach a human operator—reveals one’s true character. It’s a playful take on how technology can sometimes bring out unexpected sides of us, especially when it doesn’t work as smoothly as we’d like.
But it doesn’t provide an explanatory context. It still assumes everyone knows what the hell these words mean, mainly “representative” in this context.
How old are you and where do you live that you have never called some company or service and been put on hold and forced through hoops to have to ask to speak with a real person?
I’m sure this is a quality shitpost, but I don’t get it 😅 Can someone explain the context for this?

every automated phone call I’ve had has never been more advanced that “press 1 for support, press 2 to go fuck yourself” etc.
I’m guessing it’s just a US thing? Otherwise I might give it a shot the next time my ISP double charges me

Ah. Thanks for taking the time to explain the meme’s context!

Dunno man. People shred me for saying “please” and “thank you” to Siri.

Have you tried considering the person may not be American? Other words and systems are used in other countries.
Have you tried considering that’s why I explicitly asked where they lived?
