You know you've been on hold too long when.....

• You start boppin' along to the music.
• You know the next note that'll be played.
• The suspense is just not there when that quaint little pause...between the same dodgy tune and that tune again, goes unrecognised.
• If it's a recorded promo - you actually know the next lines and begin to make up your own little games to see if you can beat the machine to it!
• You actually know what the name of that irritating tune is.
• You begin to talk to yourself, deciding that any other mental stimulation is not going to come along anytime soon.
• If the recording contains advertisments - You really DO consider buying those 488 stake knives for the 'little lady in your life.'
