Just paying a bill

Hello!
And welcome to Virgin Media!
Just to let you know, you can now sign up to receive Virgin HD and upgrade your current package, ABSOLUTELY free. You can also.............................
About half an hour later...
We now have three options for you.
If you would just like to pay a bill, like you phoned us to do in the first place, press 1
If you would like to book a flight to the moon with Virgin Media, press 2
If you are now suffering from anger management issues just shout, "I ONLY PHONED UP TO PAY A BLOODY BILL, YOU ANNOYING, IF FRIENDLY SOUNDING, ROBOT WOMAN! PUT ME THROUGH TO A PERSON AND TAKE MY MONEY AWAY. THAT'S ALL I WANT TO DO!"
Then some music.
They actually ask you what kind of music you want to listen to while you are on hold.
For Pop, press 1
For Rock, press 2
For Easy listening, press 3
For Classical, press 4
For, "For goodness sake, just get on with it!" bash the handset against the main body of the phone and curse a lot.
Hello. I am Pooja. How can I help you?
I do have to say, when you finally get through to someone other than the robot woman, they are incredibly nice.
By the time I had paid my bill, I was seriously considering asking Pooja if she would like to go out for dinner with me some time.
But she probably lives in Bombay.
