Hold on loosely

[hummingwolf]

Having waited quite a while today for voice mail to transfer me to the next available representative, I'm trying to decide whose choice of hold music was sillier. So I'll ask you: Is a financial institution offering Phil Collins singing "There must be some misunderstanding, there must be some kind of mistake..." sillier than a health clinic playing a cheesy, beepy synthesized version of "Home on the Range"? The beeping folk tune sounds like somebody's cheap cell phone ringtone, but at least that particular voice mail system isn't going on about mistakes and miscommunication.

See, I think someone actually *chose* to use the Phil Collins in voice mail. I haven't had to deal with that system very often, but I know I've heard "There must be some misunderstanding" during a call to them before.

That would just be perfection if it was on purpose.
