Avoidance

Image meta text: Hobby: seeing how many menu selections you can get someone to go through before they realize you're not an automated system and/or hang up.

Someone has to record all the annoying phrasing on all the hold menus and "This call cannot be completed as dialed...".  Right?

In this comic, the reason the character cannot reach the woman who gave him the number is that she recognizes his number and utilizes her "voice work for Verizon" to convince him he has the wrong number.  She picked up the first time because she did not recognize the number.  Sadly, now he will never reach her.
