I’ve been on hold with “The New AT&T!” for about ten minutes now. The hold music? An enless loop of a horrible cover of the Doobie Brothers’ “Minute By Minute.”
Yes, as I sit here on hold, I hear a loop of
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on…
That’s the only part of the song that’s playing. On a loop. Indefinitely.
Isn’t that one of Dante’s seven levels of hell?
yes.
I recall a song from my college days called “Terminal Hold” – but back to the current century…
Here’s an a little tidbit for you – I’d find it funny if I has a little distance but it’s still raising bile….Bank of America has a new motto “The Bank of Higher Standards.”
As I was disconnected, put into the wrong phone queue, disconnected again, sent to the wrong department, for probably four hours over 2 days trying to dispute a charge on my account, I began to tell every (wrong) person I was connected to, how many previous queues I’d waited on, how many incorrect associates I’d been shunted off to, etc…
I would be sure to say “I really hope the recorded warning about this call being recorded for training purposes”, is true – and I hope SOMEONE will someday listen to this — it is the height of irony that all this incompetence is coming from the “Bank of Higher Standards”
How low was that bar?

Oh man… rubbing salt into the wound, eh?
So freaking harsh. I can’t tell whether the guy at the muzak company should be shot in a public square or given some kind of award for irony and subversive commentary. I mean, hey, if it were art I’d call it brilliant!
absolutely. on all counts.
Sounds like someone hacked the system to make an editorial comment.
If it were playing “Shock the Monkey” over and over, I’d start worrying about stray wires on the phone…
