'All our staff are currently on a customer care course. . . please wait, your call is important to us!'

"Waiting for some customers to call?!"

"Please wait while we have a cup of coffee and a bit of a chat about what we're doing at the weekend your call is important to us..."

A man talking to himself on a telephone hotline.

'If you would not like to speak to a human, press one...'

"This is your government. For complaints about the stock rates. Press 1. for complaints about economic policy. Press 2. for complaints about the weather. Press 3. for complaints about your relationship..."

'This call is to inform you of a special offer and to let you know that being placed on the DO NOT CALL list doesn't work.'

"You can't say that to a customer!"
