That's YouTube. The first minute also is. And a few more minutes in-between the start and end, depending on how badly a particular author content creator is trying to monetize his video.

... I have Herself trying to navigate an automated telephone system to confirm a Hospital appointment.
It's been going on for five or more minutes, and her discussions with a machine that isn't listening is getting more and more strident.
And graphic.
Oh, and obscene.
Now, I dislike them - particularly Vodafone's idea of "customer support" - but this is moving to a new level. I suspect the machine may give in out of embarrassment soon, either that or the phone will get a flying lesson.
Oh dear. I better intervene - the cat has just run away with his tail between his legs ... it's getting serious.

Has she got to the message that says, "You can also book your appointment through our online system at www.youllbelucky.com"?

Funny, I am in the middle of trying to pay my home improvement loan with a bank. Last month I paid it no problem. This month it seems I cannot pay it with my account at another bank where I do my primary banking. Unless I have an account with the bank I cannot pay the loan automatically. hmmmm, I am not happy. Now I am on hold waiting for a 'real' person. Who probably won't be able to understand my American Engrish very well.
The trouble with automation is that eventually they won't even need people. and I think that might be the goal.

Not so. They'll need people to fix the automation system.

Seeing how the systems are working, you can imagine who are they going to hire to fix it

so after being on hold for more than 2seconds. Someone answered the phone. But his computer was not working so he had to put me on hold while he got someone else who could help me.
In the meantime I went to the site which didn't work very well. No I don't know my password. No I don't know my ID. I do know my email yes. ok, HEre is your ID. (I didn't enter anything besides my email which everyone knows) hmmm, Then no I don't know my password. Ok here reset it. (I didn't enter anything besides my zip code) Reset my password. logged in and paid my bill. But?????/ Not secure. not even remotely. no email confirmation nothing. I am not wondering where in Africa my payment just went.

Luckily, with a massive stroke of uber-Karma, you will be able to send your on bot-caller on these errands and it can joust with their bot-answerer.
Let the games begin !

Don't know if it will still work but when my frustration level rose, I hit the # multiple times quickly until it confused the phone and sent me to a (alleged) person.
But I never wave bye bye
