Today, against my better judgement, I picked up a call that our Caller ID identfied as "Out of Area." This usually means, "telemarketer." But I picked it up anyway. There was a click and then canned music came through with the message, "Thank you for you're patience. All of our representatives are currently with calls. Please hold and we will be with you soon."
Wait. YOU called ME! Now I have to wait on hold for telemarketers I didn't even call?!?
Disgusting.

You know how when we get credit card offers at home I fill the Business Reply envelope with the shreds of the credit card offer along with everything else I can find to make the envelope as heavy as possible resulting in the highest postage possible and then mail it back to the company?
If they want to call you and THEN put you on hold you should put the phone down and walk away, leaving them still on the line. Make them pay for your time.
Yeah, but you already know how I feel about that credit card stunt.
