When did it become acceptable for big companies to keep you on hold for over an hour?

Imagine going to a shop and being told to stand outside until they decide you can come in?

And the music, it sounded like Sooty on acid playing some sort of experimental jazz funk on his organ, looped over a hundred times.

I hate call centres but that’s not a ‘small thing’ that annoys me. It’s massive.

Ryanair's "priority" system worked well the other day.  All the priority tickets asked to stand up and wait in a queue to check passports for 20 minutes then sent into the baking hot tunnel to stand for a further 20 minutes.  After all that, the non-priority scum had to finally get off their arses in the cool, comfortable lounge and go and join them.  And we all took off together. 

[badgerx16]

Not really annoyed by this, but why does the RNIB advert on TV have subtitles ?

Since covid where it became the acceptable 'norm'.  No appetite to change it back because that costs money and it's been proven that mugs will wait if they have to.

Not true. A lot of companies take customer service extremely seriously. Call centre experience can impact their brand. Some like British Airways clearly don’t give a shit.

I think we need to introduce the "Let's go" song at St Mary's next season.

Which player shall we choose, or should it be interchangeable like 7 Nation Army?

Women who constantly post things like “throwback Thursday,” and, “wedding dress challenge,” on social media. It’s not a challenge, you’re just fishing for likes and compliments but you’re not as pretty as you used to be, so you’re using photos from ten years ago. Grow up.

I was at the F1 last year and the would be entertainer/DJ on the PA between races was desperately trying to get that going on several occasions. A few people here and there murmured along with it but there was a general feeling of, “really? Again?”
