OMG WHY DO I HAVE TO PRESS '1' THO????? ;_; MY LIFE IS SO HARD

My Spanish-speaking, non-American mother thinks it's "ridiculous" that when calling customer services you have to press 1 for English, because English is the LANGUAGE OF AMERICA and should be considered so. >:[

I was just like... what? WAT? I mean, she speaks English too, and I know she's v.v. conservative, but. idk, I really didn't expect her to be with the unreasonable 'OMGZ BITCH I WON'T PRESS ONE' crowd. O_o

That is just such a random thing to be annoyed by!

Right? It's baffling. Like... what if someone is bilingual but is more comfortable speaking in Spanish? What if they're still learning English but aren't advanced enough yet to talk on the phone in it? What if they only speak Spanish and want some goddamned customer service? Why is the "inconvenience" of pressing 1 > their ability to get help when they need it? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS AND NO ONE WILL ANSWER THEM. :(
