What’s the longest you’ve ever been put on hold during a call? I’ve been on hold for over half hour now and I don’t like it.

    Roughly an hour. Was Social Security office, I think.  I know was something with the government. 
    I just put it on speaker and wait.

      About 40 minutes, but it was worth the wait: I had the Tilde Consortium on the line.

  • I've left the on hold music playing on speaker for at least an hour while waiting to talk to someone in my state's department of taxation.  They notoriously take forever.  And then when I go do my annual training seminars and a speaker from the department takes the dais I'll get to listen about how much improved their call times are getting.  F&$% them.

    I can't even with this. It's so high on my pet peeve list. Gives me anxiety thinking about it.
