Curse at them. Then laugh when they catch me talking about them. Then hang up.
On another note, when I was working as a phone operator, I've put people on hold to go make a sandwich.

Depends on how long they leave me there. Too long and I hang up and call right back and say,"I got disconnected."

1. Doodle
2. Past 4 minutes... begin to get antsy
3. Past 8 minutes... begin to fume
4. Past 10 minutes... think up nasty responses to "sorry for the wait"
5. Past 12 minutes... seriously debate whether hanging up hurts me or them more
6. Past 15 minutes hang up and snap at everyone around me for the next half hour, usually apologizing afterward and explaining what I've just been through

Mark the time so I'll know exactly how long I was on if it comes up in our conversation. The longer I have to wait, the more likely it is it will come up in our conversation.

disappointed with this thread, where is the Selma Hayek picture instead?
hold on the phone makes me fume, especially if you called me and put me on hold right away, i'll hang up instead.

Divide all times here by ten, and that's me.
Except for the apologizing part.
Especially today.

I usually debate on whether or not I should hang up and call later.
