Have you ever telephoned a company or organisation and found their "hold" music strangely inappropriate?

Back to Survey


So there you are phoning a company's customer service line when you're asked if you wouldn't mind being put on hold. The hold music kicks in and suddenly you're thinking, "Haaaang on a minute?".

eg - The American Epilepsy Society - "Shakin' All Over" by The Who.

Or like calling a psychologist or psychiatrist and getting hold music such as "Feelings" or "Out of my Head Over You". Both equally bizarre if it happened.

No. It's taken from my own warped sense of humour. But I have a funny feeling that "real life" has the capacity to be more inappropriate than me.

Is the example you give taken from real life??
