I’m bender critical. Spending extended periods of time drunk and/or high not only won’t help your circumstances, it’s not even particularly fun.

You don't have to have it pause it every two minutes to play the recording reminding me to stay on the line and someone will be with me soon.
All that does is get my hopes up that an actual human is coming to save me.
