Holding.

I am currently typing away with my phone volume on "HIGH" next to my computer. 

This last Friday, as I was driving home from Seattle in the rainy weather, I went to press on the breaks, my car slid, and I rammed the person in front of me. My car, besides its cracked battery and dented bumper, is fine. The car I hit, a red 2008 Jetta, hit the Ford F-150 in front of it, and its hood kind of crinkled like aluminum.

I have now been on hold with Allstate for about twenty minutes to file a claim. Every thirty seconds or so, a woman's voice interrupts the elevator-like music with, "Your call is important to us. A representative will be with you as soon as possible. Please do not hang up. Please remain on the line. Thank you." 

You're welcome.
