In the category of "So much whine/So little cheese," Cindy takes up a new complaint: "I hate being forced to listen to music when I call someone. I'm not talking about hold music. Nowadays, people force you to listen to music when you call their cell phones. What ever happened to the sound of a phone ringing? Why must I listened to a garbled ringtone version of Green Day's 21 Guns while I wait for you to either answer or for your voice mail to pick up?"
