I always do that if I'm on the phone and the stupid bot is being unhelpful. And especially if my call might be monitored. "No you stupid fucking bot that didn't work. I want to talk to a human" "Fuck you. Get me a person to talk to". etc. It's the fastest way

It probably won't always work, but pressing 0 is usually a "hidden" option that'll connect you to a human. It used to be used to connect people to an operator, and many companies still use it that way, even if they don't advertise it.

I've been encountering fewer and fewer of those that still work lately. Most IVR systems I've interacted with just disconnect you if they can't understand your input.

I've had plenty get really snarky when you try to do that. The prompt will pause then just restart the speech.
