Through the Eyes of a Wombat

This has to be a new record...
I managed to keep a telemarketer on the phone, on 'hold' for forty-five minutes!

Someone from some bank or somewhere phones at around 6:45pm, wanting to tell me about some offer or something. I didn't get any further in to the spiel than that, when I interrupted and said I was going to put them on hold for just a moment while I fetched the householder.
Now, "On Hold" on my phone does exactly that, holds, and doesn't play any inane music, and unfortunately the speaker is disabled as well. So, it makes far more logical sense to me to put the receiver in front of my speakers, and leave iTunes on random.
Then I carried on doing what I was doing anyway, sometimes choosing an upcoming song (I particularly liked "How Long Must This Go On?" from Beauty and the Beast), and every now and then picking up the phone and listening, in the few seconds break between songs. Every time I did check, it was silent, until at 7.30, after 45 minutes of this, the earpiece was beeping to indicate a disconnected call.....
They hung up somewhere between 41 and 45 minutes of music, plus another half a minute or so talking before I began to subject them to this... Perhaps they have a call timer, and aren't allowed to talk longer than 45 mins per call, perhaps the marketer's shift ended at 7.30 and they gave up and wanted to go home, or perhaps they actually held on for three quarters of an hour to hopefully talk to me, and their patience finally ran out!
どっちょだろうさかい～結構楽しかった、意外と。
