    Some companies just flat refuse the call if lines are busy like Sonys Playstation support line. Their advice? Just call periodically throughout the day and see if you get through.

      My favorite was when I had been waiting 8 hours for a response on a Microsoft support ticket, so I decided to call.

      I spent 6.5h on hold before giving up, but I had to chuckle at the, “for faster support, fill out a ticket,” message that played every 5 minutes.

      But I think Walgreens wins for the most rage inducing IVR.
