One, with an abnormal fear of späteankunftschande who has dialed into a conference call so early — before the moderator — as to have to listen to the hold music. One with a profound sense of früheankunftfreude.

In popular culture

Die Warteschleifenmusikopfer, (Opus 27, No. 2) was a light-hearted opera by Brecht concerning the attempts of Iolanthio, a young paralegal at a Belgian investment manager, to dial into weekly all-hands conference call from a mobile phone, while on holiday by the Caspian Sea. It was not popular when it premiered, is rarely performed in German nowadays but has been adapted, in English, for pantomime.
