There is a lot of time in life spent wasted as it is, so why waste your time on hold with large companies trying to dig out of those pesky automated systems?  GetHuman tries to recover some of that lost time by offering an 800 number and the process needed to bypass the voice response unit (VRU) for 500 of the largest businesses out there, and connect you with a human being.  Simply find the company you are looking to contact, then follow the process provided, and you should be able to bypass the machine and deal directly with a human representative.

You’ll find processes for businesses broken down into the following categories:

  • Automotive
  • Credit
  • Finances
  • Government
  • Hardware
  • Insurance
  • Internet
  • Mobile
  • Pharmacy
  • Products
  • Shipping
  • Software

This is definitely a site to bookmark for future reference.
