please hold

For the past few days I have been getting all sorts of phone calls that are from a machine saying, "Please hold for the next available operator..." and I hang up.

I should wait, though. I know that the call is not for me, and so I would have to take a message. I've got it planned in my head. I'll say, "hold on... I need to find a pen." and have the operator wait a really long time.

I am way too chicken. I just hang up.
