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

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.

Must be trying to get a hold of DAMARK…..

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?

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.

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.

How about a person answering my question!!!

I wish there was a “Press 4 for silence” option

How do people speak in numerals?

Yep. I would choose Doom Metal too.

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}.

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.

That’s not a joke for many businesses….

Why do the women in this strip all walk with their chest thrust forward?

Sweet. Doom Metal it is! Hopefully they have some Solitude Aeturnus.

Why can’t his girlfriend use her powers to stop this?

“You call is important to us…. You are number 9999 in the queue.”

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)!

Wow-Dennis the Menace’s father!
