Ralph: I hate calling my cable company! I wait on hold for hours. Phone: Please continue to hold. We are experiencing higher than normal call volume. Ralph: Sigh... Why can't they ever be experiencing just normal call volume?

It’s that way with every business I call. The “music” they play gets on my nerves. Social Security has a good system. You give your phone number and they will call you back at a certain time. Works good.

I know I posted about this before, but it was a long time ago. The best experience I’ve ever had while on hold was with Gateway Computers. I don’t think it lasted very long, but they had a woman pretending to be a “Surfer DJ”. She would play some pretty good music, but it was her Surfer talk that was really a blast to listen to. The kind of idea more businesses should try.

Come on Kevin, give us a little more originality. Waiting-on-hold jokes are so 1980s.

Try calling the VA for anything other than refilling a prescription. If you EVER talk to a human, you’re lucky!
