The King

Today I called the bank and was put on hold. The usual, “Your call is important to us and we will be with you in a minute” spiel came on every minute or so. About 13 minutes in, I was getting frustrated. Around 15 minutes, I came to a critical decision point: I could admit defeat and hang up, or hang on till the bitter end. I decided to stick it out. I wasn’t letting some bank queue outlast me.

At about the 25-minute mark, I abruptly hung up.

It’s Martin Luther King Day.

The bank is closed.
