Another good one is Bell Atlantic's support number which is strangely still connected even though they merged to form Verizon in 2000. 570-387-0000.

"Thank you for calling Bell Atlantic. Due to an emergency condition, we are operating with a reduced staff, and you may experience delay."

Waiting on hold is like the forever traffic jam of Doctor Who.

Speaking clocks are pretty common. Here we dial *133.

When I was a kid, you could dial the operator and ask them for the time. I still don't know why anyone would do that, but I remember it was a thing you could do.

Also, dialing 0 to get a human operator. I swear I'm not that old.
