Hold Cam
Snoop on the people who are answering your calls | |
I hate being on hold on the phone, especially when trying to
call a government agency or a cozy company with no
competition. I've seen employees at the local Department of
Motor Vehicles that wouldn't last a day in the private sector,
and I get very annoyed that not every service is available
online or through an automated system. It would be nice to
have a webcam to see how "busy" these people really are. It
might make me feel sorry for them if they're overworked.

I think you might see more than you bargained
for... I have an undeletable memory of visiting a
govt. establishment only to see one of the staff
exploring his back end with a finger whilst
standing talking on the phone. From the front
perspective, this same individual had a red nose
complete with wobbling dewdrop. It did rather
spoil the curry club lunch later laid on. |
