I like pushing buttons, not chatting with a computer...

I'd suggest, at the very least, that the system reverts as such: "I'm sorry I'm having difficulty understanding you. Let's try another way. Please ENTER your onepass number..."
IVRs today are much better than they were 2 years ago, scary to think about...
