Things They Should Invent: call centres call you back instead of putting you on hold

Being on hold is tiresome and tedious, especially if you don't have a speakerphone. 

Instead of putting us on hold, why not have the waiting callers' phone numbers automatically added to a callback queue, and the next available representative can call us back?  It would take up marginally more of the reps' time (although it seems like a computer could automatically take care of the dialling and connecting), but it would be better customer service and less stressful for the customers.
