Hold Music

You know what really Grinds My Gears?

Hold Music. Ok, So the last thing anyone ever wants to hear on the phone is, "Can I put you on hold", and as drones, we begrudgingly comply. And then we get greeted with hold music. Like this shit makes the 25 minute wait to change my plane tickets any better.

Like maybe if it was good music, but of course it isn't. Like honestly, if anyone has ever heard a good hold music song, please comment and prove me wrong. There a few different types of hold music:
1. Jazzy Overtones
2. Bad Classic Rock that is infused with Jazzy Overtones
3. And that ad for whoever you are calling encouraging you to go to their website (Yeah, because I would call if it was easy enough for me to figure it out on the website) Note: This ad may be done to a Jazzy overtone.

Also, there are issues when the hold music goes wrong. Like when it just plain stops. Like what do you do then. Like you are still connected, and might hear a faint clicking noise, but you dont know what to do. And then the 15 second loop of jazzy overtones will randomly come back and trick you in to thinking someone has actually picked up your call. But no. There is just some guy in an Indian calling center drinking his tea and laughing his ass off about this.
