While I don't have a phone phobia, I do hate how much time it takes to get a simple piece of information.
A recent example: I wanted to book a suite at a hotel. The hotel is not tall, and it overlooks a very noisy bar on one side. Is it possible to get a suite on the other side? Where will I be located, anyway?
This information is not online. Instead I have to engage in a phone call. Spend some time on hold. Bounce between people who work in the hotel and a reservations desk a couple of time. Eventually I get the answer, and it's exactly what I want.
But. I'm bothered in two directions. One, that the information is not at my fingertips.
The other, that I find it irritating to have that actual conversation to get the information I want. I'd like to have a better handle on this mental impatience.

- mwcampbell 9y agoWhat do you mean? A feature for whom? The customer, or the company trying to sell the service?
