What've you done while on hold?
What obscene things to you holler at telemarketers or customer service representatives when they can't hear you?
What have you been CAUGHT doing?
I have personally been caught singing to one of the hold songs.
It was Celine Dion 'That's the Way it is.'
I also spend my time blasting music, or posting on Gaia!
My favourite is when a friend of mine purposefully picked up
when his wireless phone service provider called him for a survey.
When he said he'd participate, he put his cell phone in the microwave
and set it long enough to have the phone burst into flames.
After putting it out, he has his house phone, and proceeded to call
the representative. I managed to get a new phone. Free of charge.
By telling them that their call made his phone combust into flames.

It's not necessarily troubleshooting something.
Like with my phone.
I'm under warranty. So I bitched and they're going to gimme a new battery biggrin

I enjoy talking to telemarketers and just wasting their time. xD To the point where if someone else picks it up I'll plead to be given the phone, it's rather sad.

If it's a bill collector, I won't even answer it.
But if it's just a soliciting telemarketer, those can be fun.
I don't really do anything on while on hold.

My mom once made me take one of the surveys. A half of an hour of my favorite show talking about how much dairy I have in my diet. =| After that, whenever I answer the phone and they screw up our last name, I just say, "Oh, this is she, I don't take surveys. -click-" I'm going to do that to one of her customers by accident someday. xD

I hang up without answering.
My cousin went to the trouble of replying in German - they got her a Mexican//Spanish translator.

The topic name makes me think of Fight Club.
All the telemarketers that call my house are all recordings. Usually we hang up. And I never troubleshoot over the phone. Ew.
One time, the phone was ringing so I ran downstairs to grab it just in time for the messaging machine to turn on. It was a recording in the middle of it's schpeel saying...:
"If you are a male, press 1. If you are a female, press 2."
I grabbed the phone, pressed talk and yelled, "I'm a ******** hermaphrodite!" And hung up.
I think I've told that story before, but I'm not sure.

I don't remember hearing it but perhaps I missed that post?
We kept getting this weird American one saying "You've won a trip to Florida!"... but I don't particularly want to go to Florida. It's got as many serial killers as South Australia! And I don't want to go their either. But one day I will.

A very popular one that EVERYONE gets here says something like "This is the 2nd notice that the factory warranty on your vehicle is about to expire."
It's so ******** annoying! They call me during class all the time!

The title reminds me of a Vonage commercial, or whatever that company is known as. xD I've never been on hold, but I feel it'd either be unbearably boring, or really hilarious.

SecretAgent_Clem A very popular one that EVERYONE gets here says something like "This is the 2nd notice that the factory warranty on your vehicle is about to expire." It's so ******** annoying! They call me during class all the time! Everybody in my entire high school has gotten that one at least once. It's soo annoying. rolleyes Anyways at my grandma's house we have alot of fun with the telemarketers. She has foster kids and each one of them does something different when it's a telemarketer. One of them pretends to be pizza hut. Another does a really good impression of a chinese person who doesn't speak english well and so pretends to be a chinse restraunt. I yap at them in spanish. My grandma quotes the bible at them until they hang up. Telemarketers are soo much fun!

Two times when my best friend Maranda has been over we answered when the telemarketers called.The first time it was some religious group or some such so this is what we did. (caller ID)
Me(in a soft sensual voice):Alright love I'll be as gentle as possible,you'll be squirming and gasping in pleasure in no time whatsoever.
Maranda(in a shaky voice breathless kinda voice) "C-colby not t-there!It's too sen-sen-SENSITIVE(that basically turned into a moan xD)!"
They practically had a heartattack and well,it was good stuff.
The other time someone called we pretended she was raping me xD
As for when I've been on hold I've sang along to die ******** die by get set go and they've come back to the phone and stuff when I was singing the lyrics involving a hot poker and that area where the sun doesn't shine.
