What is Message On Hold?

No laughing matter

Being put on hold beats being told “hold on”.

Hold the bus. Get a grip. Hang on tight. In these mountains, the regular bus travelers know what to do when the driver yells “hold on”. You know him, in the sunglasses, unshaven, raggedy old hat and a more ragged cheroot drooping from his bottom lip.

If you’ve ever been on a bus down South you know the driver. You must remember him. Was it Juan or Jose? It was definitely one of those “Y” names. Every time he’s going too fast down the steep, steep hill. We know it means to hang on tight. Hold on.

If on the other hand you are on the telephone and get put On Hold then you expect to hear something different. Not some “Y” guy yelling!  Maybe you’ll hear those ghastly chimes. Or that eerie On Hold Computer music. There might also be useful information. So? What is Message On Hold? 

Is that a message to read when you are holding on, really gripping hard trying to hold on as the runaway bus hurtles headlong down, down the precipice?

No!  We are on the telephone. There is no runaway bus, in fact, there is no well-behaved bus either. There is no bus. We are not holding on to any bus or any public vehicle. We are On-Hold.
