wife wouldn't appreciate that if she was sitting on the throne.

I call it broadcast mode, but the speakerphone thing on cell phones or the handsets of my landline phone are the best thing ever. Get put on hold, put it on broadcast, and do whatever else until someone finally shows up.
Surely I'm not the only person who has figured this out.

(25,939 posts)Wow. I am simply surprised that you didn't go to a wireless version long ago. Or, alternatively, have purchased a 25 foot long cord so you're not stuck to being two feet from the base unit.
Decades ago, long before we had the wireless handsets, I discovered the joys of a 25 foot cord.
