Getting the IRS to Change

[JJStephens]

Do you think that if enough of us signed a petition we could get the IRS to change the nasty 'on-hold' music that hasn't changed since the infernal revenue code was enacted in 1913? It was awful before but now that they're leaving us on hold for longer and longer periods, it's enough to drive me loony (yeah, I know, loonier). What think ye?

Eine Kliene Nachtmusik?

nix verstehen.....

Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (A Little Night Music) isn't so far fetched, they used to play Mozart's 40th on some lines.

I haven't been on hold lately but an IRS agent told me they changed from Nutcracker to 'smooth jazz'.

I don't mind the music - I hate the constant interruptions to tell me that my call is important and that if I call back later this might increase my wait time.  I understood that the first 10 times you told me so.  I don't have to hear it every 30 seconds.

I am SO with you on this one!!  Play the &^%$# muzak and SHUT UP with the interruptions.  If my call was important you would answer it and not hang up on me after an hour.  Until then, I can get on with something else while waiting far better without the constant interruptions.

Don't hold back Catherine, tell us how you REALLY feel!!!!

I hate the interruption too.  I keep one ear open to listen for that tone that let's you know someone is (probably) about to pick up.  All I need is the music. And on the practioners line? We KNOW we will lose our place in line if we hang up. Really, we do.
