"Your Estimated Wait Time Will be 3 Minutes..."

[ScreamingMeemie]

:grr: I have wasted half my life on hold. :cry:

[Left Is Write]

1. I post on DU or play Gems while I'm on hold.

:D

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. That's what I am doing, I'm about ready to lose it because I have

been on hold three different times now and I'm ready to scream. No one knows what they are talking about. I HATE MAYTAG! :hi:

[billyskank]

3. MrsGrumpy is gonna need a lotta love today

:loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. They just totally SCREWED me!

:cry:

[billyskank]

5. Right, that does it!

Nobody screws MrsGrumpy! * :grr: I summon the wrath of the Lounge on these assholes!















* Except MrGrumpy, if she wishes.

6. Consumer Reports consistently rates Maytag pretty low.

Give me Whirlpool or Kenmore any day. I'm sorry you're having such a bad time. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. We always bought Maytags when I was growing up and never had

a problem. Things surely have changed. I can't even get a service call scheduled. :( :hug:

7. Those a-holes have reprogrammed around you hitting 0

I have noticed.

until recently (gee thanks Oprah for letting that cat out of the bag) I would just hit 0 aitomatically and get a human (still some wait) now several numbers I have called won't accept the 0 and hitting it just restarts the message. BAHSTADS!!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. This one was one of those stupid voice activated things...

I am now on hold for the fifth time in a half an hour...and still can't get a service call. Maytag Sucks

[alarimer]

14. And they never tell you how to get to a actual person

You getstuck in menu hell.

8. I think I'd get paid a lot more...

if I charged my boss soley on time spent on hold, and time spent watching status bars crawl from left to right on my computer screen.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. People should be paid double time for having to listen to "we apologize

for the delay" 1400 times interspersed with stupid Muzak.

[asthmaticeog]

12. "We value your call..."

Good. Kindly answer it, then. :eyes:

[philosophie_en_rose]

13. "...please stay on the line..."

translation: screw you, buddy. If you hang up, you lose your place in the queue.

[tigereye]

15. I have a speaker phone feature on my phone

so I just push that button and keep working til someone actually answers...

yup, waiting is sure a pain.
