Listen, I don’t mind if you have a fancy ringtone. I really don’t. Just because my phone is on vibrate/silent all the time, doesn’t mean you have to be as considerate as I, especially in the workplace. Thing is, I just might have a ringtone. But perhaps I don’t think everyone in the building needs to know about my Super Mario Brothers fixation, like you think everyone needs to know that you love that damn umbrella song. Maybe, just maybe, you can show some consideration and take the phone with you when you make your 50th bathroom run of the morning. Hey, I’m not knocking you there. I have a weak bladder as well. But unlike you, I do not leave my cell phone on my desk when I have to pee. You do. Ringer on, volume turned all the way up, knowing damn well that one of the kids is going call (because they seem to call every three minutes) and once again we will all be subjected to umbrella…ella….ella…ella….ella…ella…
This goes for you too, Mr. Take Me Out To The Ball Game. And you, with the Family Guy clip that plays every time your boyfriend calls. And you, with the Star Wars sound effects. Hey, I’m a big Star Wars geek myself, but listening to R2D2 beeps all day long makes me want to burn my action figures. I’m not saying give up your ringtones. Just please, either turn them off when you are at work or stop leaving your phone on your desk when you leave the office. It’s like we are being held hostage by your ringtone every time someone calls. We all now live in fear of your phone. When you get up and walk out the door, we cower and shake as the phone sits there on your desk like a ticking time bomb and, as sure as shit is brown, not two seconds after you leave the bomb goes off and it rains down a chorus of ella…..ella…..ella… on us.
Don’t be surprised when I sue you for post traumatic stress disorder.
Or when I furtively change your ringtone to Slayer’s Angel of Death.
Well, I’m kind of different in this manner.
When the wife calls, it’s the Imperial March from Star Wars. There’s something satisfying about hearing Dum dum dum dum de dum and looking up and going “Oh…It’s the Mrs.”
However, I get about 3 calls a week, total. I’m not a cell phone kind of talker. Just call me at home or on my business phone.
Which, by the way, has the sound of a screeching monkey when it rings. That’s part of the benefits of knowing how to hack crap.
So, I’m willing to bet people would rather hear my cellphone go off rather than the howler monkey.
I would also like to point out that I keep my cellphone and workphone volumes waaaaay down. The screeching monkey can barely be heard a cube away (we have a fancy noise canceling system at work) yet magically cuts through my headphones while I’m listening to music.
format looks ok on the site. I noticed the rss feed has a larger font than usual. That’s about it.
I once time had this thing on my computer called ‘Homer Pro’. It was a stupid thing that would make all kinds of random homer simpsons noises. one day I left for lunch and forgot it was on. People wanted to kill me. Doh!
Since I don’t care about such things, I left the default ringtone on my phone for quite some time. Until I discovered the AT&T/Bell classic ring. It’s amusing to watch visitors at my place jump when they hear it. Of course, their rotten kids don’t even know what it is.
I’m with M on the silent/vibrate thing. That’s how I always set it anywhere it might bother people.

One of my co-workers has “Girls Just Want to Have Fun.”
I, on the other hand, just want to kill her every time her phone rings.
I want my home phone to ring like a screeching monkey.
A guy who sits near me has a meowing (mewing, actually) cat ring for his girlfriend. Which is irritating enough, but then instead of answering it, or turning off the ring, he bitches out loud about her calling AGAIN. I deserve a medal for not throwing him and his damn meowing phone out the window.
p.s. Not only did your post work, you pinged blogrolling for the first time ever.
This is why I work at home…
When I’m in public, my phone is always on vibrate. But, in case you’re curious, my default ringtone is The Cure’s “Boys Don’t Cry.”
When I’m at work, it’s on pleasure mode (vibrate). What’s funny is that I’m now working for a cell phone company and one of the big sins of the building is to leave your ringtone on after you enter the facility.
My ringtone at this time of year is, “(Seasons Don’t) Fear the Reaper.” Yeah, I start Halloween early, mostly because I have a fever… Of course it’s only on ring when I’m at home.
Once I get my new, ridiculously pretentious data device/phone that I got at an obscenely reduced price, I don’t know what I’ll do because I can make my ringtone an entire MP3.
And yeah, I would have found some way to mention my new, ridiculously pretentious data device/phone that I got an an obscenely reduced price one way or another.
I loathe it when people leave their cell phones on – with the “creative” ringtones – at inappropriate times.
A couple years ago, I had to make an emergency trip home because a relative was in the hospital. The only way I could get there was overnight, in coach, on a train.
I wanted to kill about half the passengers on there. You DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT need someone to call you at 3 am on a train. It is not going to get you there any faster. You are already en route so if the wedding was canceled, the old man died, the baby came out already – it doesn’t matter. It’s not like you can turn around and go back home.
ESPECIALLY if your damned ringtone is the oh-so-clever “Someone let me outta here!!!!”
Thank goodness I have my own office at work, so I only have to hear the obnoxious ringtones if someone happens to be walking by when their phone rings.
I will say – one of my friends’ kids wanted to put “dude looks like a lady” on his dad’s cell phone ring tone. I laughed when she told me that, but I didn’t TELL her why I was laughing – as it turns out, this Dude really DOES. (She didn’t let her son do it, though. Pity.)
My ringtone sounds like an old-fashioned phone’s ring. Freaks people out. I love it.
