Gethuman.com has both general tips for reaching a human and specific instructions for reaching human customer service at companies from AAA to Wisconsin Electric.

Another alternative is Bringo - a service that will navigate the phone tree at 171 different companies for you. [via The Red Ferret Journal]

Want to disconnect a service? Boing Boing provides tips on how to make such calls more effectively. (If you're calling during the day, you might want to hang up and call back in the middle of the night.)
