What's the longest you've ever been on hold?

I am on hold with the USPS right now. So far it's been 33 minutes and 54 seconds. I'm calling about a package they said was left in my mailbox today. No package was there and nothing was left at my door. This is ridiculous.

  • I can believe it.  They finally answered after an hour.  They don't know where my packager is.  It wasn't anything real important.  It was a kite for for pain.  I think I paid 80¢for it.  That's not the point though.  I found it on AMZ reviews  they have all kinds of stuff for really cheap. You request their product, they send you a voucher for amazon and all they want is for you to leave good feedback on the product.  I got a really good chef knife for under $2.00.

    If you go to Social Security on line, there's a choice to leave your telephone number and they will get back to you in about am hour.  I've done it both ways and, believe me, leaving your number for a call-back is GREAT.

  • I remember being on hold for 30 solid minutes with Dell tech support (the worst). The total cumulative time spent on hold during the call I couldn't even tell you...

  • I put my phone on the charger, turned it on speaker and played on here. :) Once they did answer my call, they really couldn't do anything for me.
