* ''ComicStrip/GetFuzzy''. Invoked in a 2005 story arc, in which Rob attempts to get in touch with [[BrandX Dull Computer]] customer support: at one point during his call, he's placed on hold for hours - so many hours, in fact, that he can't make dinner, and has Satchel order pizza for the night. Meanwhile, at Dull Computers, a few customer service reps boast about their personal records of keeping customers on hold, ranging from three hours to five hours, to one guy who ''still'' has a customer on hold as they speak. And whenever Rob ''isn't'' on hold, he's bounced around from one department to another.
