Here's another YouTube video of bad teleconferences (this one is more visual in nature, and just as funny):

I recently held a series of strategizing meetings, and in the first one somebody put us on hold. We hung up and called in again. In the second meeting I clarified our convention regarding not putting the team on hold. I simply stated that if anyone put us on hold, we would immediately stop and take roll call to find the offender, and then we would tease them unmercifully until we got tired of it.

No one has put us on hold since. 😛
