I'm with you there, RICHARD: You're talking with someone on the phone, and their call-waiting signals another call is coming in.. and they put you on hold to take it. They're in effect telling you: "Pardon me while I see if there's someone I'd rather talk to than you on the other line."

That's exactly how I feel. They are keeping their options open in case someone more important/interesting calls, then they kick you to the curb.
Well, I gotta life too and I'm not hanging out on hold while you weigh the options. See ya!
