I'm sick to death of calling Virgin Media.

I particularly hate that fucking awful patronising, cheesy-sounding bint who does the recorded messages.

And the music! Sometimes they give you a choice of music to listen to while youre whiling away the hours on hold. I asked for "easy listening" once - and got Gary Numan (Cars), Thin Lizzy (The Boys are back in town). I dread to think what my ears would have been assaulted with had I chosen Classical. Probably a bit of Motorhead or something. Why can't I chose to listen to nothing!

oh god, don't
had to call them last week, got the same 30 seconds of vivaldi played over and over, with "we're sorry, all our blah blah blah" in between

Yeah, and instead of giving you a decent amount of time for your ears to get used to the tinny garbage they call music - that fucking sorry message repeats every 5 seconds or so.

"you fucking will be sorry if i ever get my hands on you!"

I've had Gary Numan and Thin Lizzy on 'easy listening', 'rock' and 'pop'

that's because you're not actually getting a choice
they just let you think you are, the cunts
