Garfield: You must be tonight's Christmas nightmare.
Phone: Correct-amundo. I am tech support for your new electronic gift.
Garfield: That doesn't sound so bad.
Phone: Your current wait time is 432 minutes.
The flip side is that when you have to wait that long for tech support, the company hasn’t hired enough tech support people to handle their likely volume of calls. The people who actually have to answer these calls are taking call after call from people who are crabby because they have been kept waiting.
Check out tech support for Tracfone sometime. I’ve spent 12 hours total and two months trying to switch a number and minutes to a new phone. Still haven’t been able to do it. They are the worst!!!

A response from tech support that quickly?! Why, it’s a Christmas miracle!

Garfields had naps longer than that, so what’s there to be afraid of?

What I love is when I have problems with a web site, and when I call, I hear, “You can get the answers to your problem on our web site.”

The only thing worse than the wait time is the guy with the thick Pakistani accent on the other end who barely knows English.

Boy, I haven’t heard “correctamundo” in about fifteen years.

Why should that be a problem for Garfield? He can just sleep for 432 minutes.
That’s what he’s famous for.
