Completely agree about the downside of buying online. Customers NEED to verify the tickets immediately after they get the confirmation email. If there are any mistakes (no matter who's made them), they can then be rectified immediately.
This said, I think there is a glitch on the United website. I tried 2 searches - one from MDW (Midway-Chicago) and the other from HOU (Hobby), neither of them, United not fly from. Interesting to see that while searching from MDW, it says no flights are available, but when searching from HOU, it defaults to IAH. They should show flights from nearby airports ONLY if that option is checked. In this case, I did not check (tick) that option.
OP - Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about this. You are typically given 24 hours to rectify any mistakes. Since this was not done, nothing much can be done about it now.
