		I DISPISE the hold music McMaster has. I actually find myself singing it when I’m bored. It haunts me. I thought I’d share this because I’ve been on hold with Cashiers for…. Oh I don’t know… 20 MINUTES!!! 
  
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doooo, doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-do-do....

		You know who has good hold music?  Virgin Mobile.  And thank goodness they do.  You could be on hold for a while.  It's like, "Do you want to listen to relaxing music? Press 1" "Want to dance?  Press 2" Lol and they have a third option as well.

		 Oh man, I forget the * code for it now, but there's a way you can activate hold music on your residence phone, since it's built into the phone system.....one of those little useless things that can be used to annoy people at opportune times :p

		 Lol, maybe hold music is better than sheer silence.  I can imagine them going, "hello?" every now and then. Lol.  If you can choose your own songs for the hold music then you can definitively annoy them. XD
