Is there any such thing as good hold music? I work in a job where I have to spend a large portion of my day phoning companies and therefore listen to a LOT of hold music/endless menu options/inane shit. I don't mind it so much when I am being paid to do it but when it's for myself it drives me up the wall.
The one exception I have found to this was Yorkshire Water when they used to have a brass band playing 'Mambo No.5' which was really cheerful. Unfortunately they've done away with it now.
I rang Apple for personal reasons a few months ago and they had an option for silence, which I chose. I was on hold for quite a while and it was really weird because I felt like it was never going to be answered!
Anyway I don't really know what I am asking if IABU about! Maybe to think that having to ring call centres about everything all the time is the real scourge of modern society?
