    My favorite is sometimes when I’m on hold the announcements tell you to visit their website for faster service (would if I could have!). It reads out the URL to you like “double-you double-you double-you dot this stupid company dot com. Again, that’s double-you double-you double-you dot this stupid company dot com”

    And if you actually type the “www”, you get redirected to the base domain without it.

      I remember listening to radio commercials in the early days where it was:

      Aitch-tee-tee-pee colon, forward slash, forward slash, double-you, double-you, double-you, dot nameofthecompany dot com, forward slash, tilde - you know, that squiggly line on the key to the left of the number one on your keyboard, you have to press shift for it - and then the word ‘customer’.
