Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
If you are put on HOLD in Pittsburgh when you call the *U*niversity of *P*ittsburgh *M*edical *C*enter, you hear music that reportedly was written, directed, and Played by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra.
Hold music, I am convinced, is designed to make you decide your issue really isn’t that important and make you hang up. The local hospital has this droning jazzy type number that I think was recorded in a tin wash tub. Same 10 bars (about 20 seconds) on loop ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
NY Unemployment Office would make you happy: (after 3 long messages on unrelated matters and 4 levels of menu choices) "All of our operators are busy, call back later {click}.

At least now there’s choice. Back in The Day, all you could get was Mantovani.

That’s pretty cool. I’ve never gotten a choice in my hold music.

I’m totally going for doom metal unless one of the later choices is dueling bagpipes.

Are pedal pushers making a comeback ? Or does 1959 want its girl fashion back?

Well, when being forced to listen elevator music, it could fun to have option, even if a limited choice.

Come on guys. “Elevator music” made Barry Manilow a very rich man.

No hold (yay?)

Most of the time I just press “O” several times. Eventually (generally), I get a person!

If you want to speak to a human being… Good Luck.

Why do the women in this strip all walk with their chest thrust forward?
Michael Rosser Premium Member over 4 years ago
Sweet. Doom Metal it is! Hopefully they have some Solitude Aeturnus.

The worst is when they go thru the whole rigamarole menu and you punch numbers and they tell you they’re closed(usually at 1 minute after)!
