I had a call in the last few days from a company.  Well the gentleman introduced himself and then proceeds to say “can you please hold?” This was all in the first 10 seconds of the call.  So I tell the guy no I can not hold and I hung up.  I am sorry but it is rude and tacky for anyone to call you and when you answer the phone to ask you to hold.  I can not believe someone would actually do that and expect not to get hung up on.  I told my mother in law about it and she just laughed and said that she does it all of the time.  And when I told my husband about it he just lauged and said “did you really” and followed with saying that he would too.  Getting telemarketing calls does not bother me in the least bit I  used to make a living making outbound telemarketing calls, so I know how it is.  But I would have never gotten anyone on the phone and said to hold please.  I may feel a little rude about doing it but I am sure that most people would have done the same thing that I did.
