hold trance 

When ringing a large corporate company or the tax office, you go through all the menu's "press 2 if you have lost the will to live" malarkey and then get put on hold for so long, you end up in a trance, listening to either the hold music or 30 second beeps so when, finally, some muppet does answer your call, you forgot what you rang about.....

.........after 37 minutes of being on hold and being put into a hold trance "Hello, you're speaking to Malcolm, how can I help?" "errrrrm, errrmmmm, sorry I will have to ring back, I've forgot what I wanted to say".......*hangs up*
