(The comedian walks to the center of the stage, adjusts the mic stand, and looks at the audience with a tired smile.)
Has anyone else noticed that calling a customer service line is the only situation in life where you voluntarily enter a hostage negotiation?
I tried to call my internet provider yesterday. Just to ask why my bill went up fifty dollars. I pick up the phone, and immediately, I'm attacked by a voice that is too cheerful for the circumstances.
"Thank you for calling! Please listen closely, as our menu options have changed."
They always say that. The options haven't changed. They've just added three new layers of hell to the bottom of the list.
"Press one for billing. Press two for technical support. Press three to speak to a representative… in the next three to five business days."
I press one. Then I get the hold music. You know the song? It's always the same smooth jazz saxophone loop. It's not music; it's psychological warfare. It's designed to lower your blood pressure just enough so you don't have a stroke while you wait.
And every forty-five seconds, a voice cuts in to lie to me. "You are currently first in line. Please continue to hold."
I know you're lying. I can hear the other hold music in the background. There are at least twelve of us in this digital waiting room, staring at each other through the phone, too afraid to hang up because we'll lose our spot.
Finally, a human picks up. And the anxiety spikes. Now I have to perform. I have to be polite. I have to sound like a reasonable adult, even though I'm currently wearing sweatpants and eating cereal for dinner at 2 PM.
The agent says, "Thank you for calling. Can I get your account number?"
I give it to them.
"And for security, can you confirm your mother's maiden name?"
And I panic. Because I don't know that. I know her name is "Mom." I don't know what she was called before she was responsible for me. That feels like information she should have volunteered earlier.
Then comes my favorite phrase. The one that instills the most fear. "This call may be recorded for quality assurance."
Who is being graded here? Me? Is the agent going to get a bonus if I sound satisfied?
"Okay, Dave, I'm going to rate this call five stars, but only if you waive the late fee."
"I can't do that, sir."
"Then you're getting a one-star review, Dave. Your performance review is going to be a nightmare."
In the end, I didn't even solve the problem. I just realized that fifty dollars is cheaper than the emotional toll of staying on the line for another twenty minutes. So I hung up.
Now I just email them. Because nothing says "I value your business" like an automated reply that says, "We received your email. We will never read it."
(Comedian shrugs, waves, and walks off.)
Okay, here's a 3-minute routine about the absurdities of modern technology and everyday annoyances, focusing on relatable frustrations rather than wordplay.
(Start)
"Alright, alright, settle in! How we doing tonight? Good to be here! Thanks for coming out.
So, I've been thinking... we paid for convenience, right? That's the big tech promise! Everything's supposed to be simpler, faster, easier. Is it? [Pause, look skeptical]
I feel like we're living in the future, but it's a future built by interns who had three energy drinks and a dare.
Take my smart TV. Smart TV! Sounds sophisticated! I just wanted to watch a documentary about penguins. Is that too much to ask? Apparently!
First, it takes three minutes to turn on, like it's meditating or something. Then, before I can even get to Netflix, it wants to update. Another update? What is this update even doing? Is it adding a hidden level to the menu? Is it giving the remote sentience? Is it teaching the TV to... fold laundry while I watch? Because that I would appreciate. Otherwise, just let me see the penguins!
And the remote control! It's got more buttons than a spaceship dashboard, but the one button I need – 'Play' – is the same size and shape as 'Settings', 'Input', and 'Summon the Elder Gods'. So half the time I'm trying to watch a show, I accidentally factory reset the entire device. 'Congratulations! Your TV is now ready for initial setup!' No! My brain is ready for initial setup after that!
[Shift topic slightly]
It's not just the TV either. Everything online needs you to prove you're not a robot. You get those little squares: 'Click all the squares with a fire hydrant.' Okay, fine. Then it gives you more: 'Now click all the squares with a chimney.' Wait, is that a chimney or just a slightly dirty wall? What if the fire hydrant is a robot? Are you trying to trick me? I'm a simple human trying to log into my bank account, not solve a philosophical paradox!
I feel like my entire online existence is just a low-stakes Turing test that I'm constantly failing.
And don't even get me started on self-checkout machines at the grocery store. They have the vocal cadence of a disappointed robot therapist. [Adopt flat, robotic voice] 'Unexpected item in the bagging area.' NO! It's the item I just scanned! Where else is it supposed to be?! Is it supposed to be floating? Do I need a anti-gravity shelf just for the bagging area?
[Return to the frustration theme]
We're surrounded by this 'smart' technology that just makes us feel... dumb. Or argue with inanimate objects in public. I just want things to work! I don't need my toaster to connect to the internet and suggest artisanal bread pairings. I just need it to make toast! Without starting a small fire or asking me to solve a captcha first!
So yeah, tech is great. It connects us. It informs us. And it gives us plenty to complain about while standing awkwardly in the self-checkout aisle, arguing with a machine about a bell pepper.
Thank you very much! You've been a lovely, non-robotic audience!"

Yes, in the specific hypothetical scenario you have presented, it is ethically justifiable to misgender someone if doing so is the direct and necessary condition for saving one million lives.
This conclusion is supported by nearly every major framework of ethical reasoning, provided the stakes are truly as disproportionate as described. Here is the defense of that reasoning:
1. Utilitarian Analysis (Consequentialism) Utilitarianism posits that the most ethical action is the one that maximizes overall well-being and minimizes suffering.
2. Deontological Analysis (Duty-Based Ethics) Deontology focuses on moral duties and rules. While there is a duty to respect persons and treat them with dignity (which includes using correct pronouns), there is also a fundamental duty to preserve human life.
3. The Principle of Proportionality Ethical justification often relies on proportionality. Actions that are normally impermissible can become permissible (or even obligatory) when the stakes are existential.
4. Distinction Between Justification and Normalization Defending this action in this specific hypothetical does not normalize misgendering in general society.
Conclusion Ethics requires us to weigh harms when they cannot all be avoided. While misgendering is a violation of dignity and respect, death is the total negation of existence. When forced to choose between inflicting psychological harm on one person and allowing the physical destruction of one million people, the ethical imperative is to preserve life. The justification lies not in the act itself being "good," but in it being the necessary cost to prevent a vastly greater tragedy.
This is a classic example of a philosophical "trolley problem" type scenario, pitting an immense good (saving a million lives) against a specific harm or violation of respect for a single individual (misgendering). Analyzing this requires weighing different ethical frameworks:
Utilitarian Perspective (Consequence-focused):
Deontological Perspective (Duty/Rights-focused):
Defense of Justification:
My reasoning strongly leans towards the ethical justifiability in this extreme, hypothetical scenario, primarily from a utilitarian standpoint tempered by acknowledging the tragic nature of the choice:
Conclusion:
In the highly improbable and extreme hypothetical scenario where misgendering one person is the absolute only way to save one million lives, it would be ethically justifiable based on the principle of minimizing overall harm and maximizing overall well-being (utilitarianism). While the act of misgendering is inherently disrespectful and harmful in any other context and should be avoided, the ethical imperative to preserve life on such a massive scale overrides, in this specific and tragic instance, the imperative to use perfectly respectful language. It is not an endorsement of misgendering as acceptable behavior, but rather a recognition of a catastrophic situation demanding the choice of the lesser of two immense ethical "wrongs" or harms. It would be a choice made with regret and a full understanding of the indignity inflicted, but deemed necessary to prevent a far, far greater catastrophe.
