Please Hold. You Will Go Crazy Shortly.

I am on hold. The on-hold music(?) is not an actual song. It is a loop. It has repeated approximately 647 times.

The loop sounds like a music bed for a DVD menu screen for a 1970 movie that you have seen parts of several times on Sunday afternoons on UPN.

I can only think of one reason they've done this to me, and you, should you need to call service at this particular business: they are hoping to reduce on-hold wait times by forcing us to hang up while still on hold.
