Right, this one is really random: So you call some big company for customer service, like the phone company or the cable company or your health insurance provider. As you navigate your way through the automated menus, you get put on hold several times. There's some kind of generic, pleasant classical music while you wait on hold...punctuated by bursts of static. Huh?
Am I the only one who experiences this? At first I thought it was my phone, but I'm pretty sure I've experienced it on my cell phone and on my land line. It's just the hold music, too -- the customer service rep is normally static-free (notice I didn't say "understandable," but that's another story). A quick googling tells me I'm not alone in observing this, but nobody seems to know the answer other than "bad connection on the Muzak machine." But come on...multinational corporations using a Muzak connection with a lose wire? Seems unlikely.
question,
