An interesting way of measuring what customers will put up with when it comes to Call Centers. From the August 2006 issue of Fast Company Magazine:
The Rage Curve
What drives people nuts about automated telephone systems.

Two more rage creators that I've experienced in the last 6 months:
1) Having absolutely no sound on the line while on multiple long, long, long holds (was I disconnected??).
2) Or having a recorded message extolling the virtues of their latest service award when I'm calling to complain.

They forgot to include "horrible loud music" on this curve. It's probably completely off the scale.
Also, "When it sounds like a real person is actually picking up but then you realize that it's just another recording."
