I am being driven slowly but surely insane by Bell Canada's relentlessly upbeat faux-calypso hold music.
This is surely one of the most hideous experiences known to mankind.

Be strong, Capn. And dream of nubile women on a tropical island paradise.

Still on hold (check the post times), I can beat you Bell Canada. I'm at work. I'm getting paid to listen to your hold music! How do you like that?!

I would deal with this on-line, but all their on-line interaction requires information off of the bill that they have not sent me, what I am calling to inquire as to the status of.

35 mins to get through to an actual-factual person.

35 minutes? 35 minutes? why, when I was was young we had to hike 10 miles in the snow, barefoot, just to be kept on hold for 45 minutes. You kids have no appreciation of what a soft life you actually have.

I once spent three-and-a-half weeks on Hold, but it was a publicity stunt for a talk radio station (still, they came damn close to getting me in the Guinness Book of World Records).
