I'm not proud of this but the one lifehack I always use when I'm required to call in to cancel even though a service has a live (human) chat on their site - I tell them I'm deaf. I'm not and I feel weird using this tactic, as though I'm appropriating deafness, but damn does it work. It's never once failed me.
I think it's something you actually should be proud of, this way you increase the frequency in which companies encounter a "deaf" person which forces them to adapt quicker to people with such disabilities.
