Grown Men with songs as custom ring-tones (1 Viewer)

Stop it.

Seriously, please knock it off.


We have this new guy in operations here at work. The silver fox. Guy's probably 60 years old and was hired because he's got some belt in Six Sigma something or other. What he doesn't have is the technical know how to tactfully operate his new smartphone.

He's apparently figured out that the phone has the capability to assign different ring tones to each of his contacts. He's also figured out that these ring tones don't have to be normal, unobtrusive tones... but he's able to download the entire Alabama and Jethro Tull library, and tag each track to a different contact.

WIthout fail, we're now treated to no less than a half dozen full-volume renditions of "aqualung" or "take the money and run" at random times throughout the day. I'm guessing he's hard of hearing, as these frequently are allowed to carry through to completion without much response from good ol Bob. This would be mildly annoying if it were a normal ring tone... but the use of crappy 70s tracks really puts it over the edge, IMO.

Fellas.... use a normal ring tone.

O-R-I-O-L-E-S... Orioles magic! Feel it happen!

How about the guy/girl that lets their phone ring at all in the office?

Keep it on vibrate, people.

 

[Gr00vus]

How about "Sexbomb (Peppermint Jam Remix)" - can I keep that one as my ringtone?

 

[culdeus]

What about the guy that lets his wife record her voice saying

"Bob, bob are you there? Bob, bob are you there?" Before it kicks to voice mail it repeats about 18 times.

 

[Al O'Pecia]

The ringtone when my wife calls is Queen's "You're My Best Friend".

 

[B-Deep]

my iphone came preset with who let the dogs out as my default ringtone

[Apple Jack]

Love the Tull. Right on brother.

Please tell me this isn't a real thing.

Tom Jones is a rare exception IMO but you'll have to put it before the committee.

I'm 47, I have Gorillaz "Clint Eastwood" intro as my ringtone. Of course I don't have any other ones assigned, I have better things to spend time on.

I really appreciate the guys that have Darth Vader music ringtones when the wife calls.

one guy had Jason from Halloween theme music whenever his wife was calling, brilliant.

 

[B-Deep]

Robert was so schnockered, he wanted to fight anybody who didn't agree that "Bungle in the Jungle" was the best song ever written.

 

[McGarnicle]

Mine is a guitar solo from I Got ####, by Pearl Jam.

 

[Apple Jack]

My phone's been on vibrate since 1997. Not because I'm being courteous, but because I really enjoy the sensation when receiving a call.

Have part of Pink Floyd's "Nobody's Home" as my default ring tone.. short 7 second clip of "Why not pickup the phone?"

 

[Al O'Pecia]

My phone's been on vibrate since 1997.

Might be time to get a new phone.

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Is it wrong that my phone plays this every time someone mentions me on twitter?

Styling since 1997

 

[Buddy Ball 2K3]

Just realized it was October 1st and was changing my ringtone to the theme song from Halloween. Is this a no-no?

I wish I was making this up. Luckily it was only for his wife calling him.

 

[headcrack]

I'm a big part of this problem. I'm 51 and I have Die Antwoord's "Cookie Thumper" as a ringtone.

My friend has Darth Vader music for his wife's ringtone. I like it.

My boss a few years back had the same.

I meant Hallowwen theme ringtone http://www.ringophone.com/John%20Carpenter-ringtones.html

 

[tonydead]

I had Nightrider for awhile. Had to change to MNFL theme.

 

[fantasycurse42]

My wife and I have a voicemail greeting where we both talk... I say one sentence and she says the other, good stuff, give it a shot

 

[pollardsvision]

I don't like music ringtones either, but let's ease up on the Jethro Tull bashing.

Sentences? Pfft. Sharks switch every other word.

 

[Freelove]

Oh my God, is that Cat Party?

 

[GoFishTN]

I use the Vertu ringtone. I'm still waiting on someone to recognize it.

 

[Zow]

Anybody who actually uses a ringtone needs to stop. No reason to ever have one's phone off vibrate.

 

[John Bender]

I use "Who Can It Be Now?" By Men At Work for the shtick factor.

 

[cstu]

I use the CTU ring tone and am always disappointed when there isn't a terrorist act.

I use the 24 countdown for my meeting notifications

 

[Annyong]

Used to sing Lionel Ritchie voice "hello, is it me you're looking for" as my voicemail years ago.

 

[dozer]

I use a clip from Stevie Ray Vaughn's Scuttle Buttin'. I like it so figure the world will like it too.

I worked with a guy that had this one for when his wife called. I always thought it was funny.

When I was looking that one up, I found this gem for when your wife calls.

Yes. I have never once thought to myself, "man, I wish my ringer was on."

I have only ever thought to myself, if I accidentally turned ringer on, "Oh crap, my phone is going off, I'm such a d-bag because holy crap this must annoy others".

[Gr00vus]

For reals, on my last phone I used the Flight of the Conchords opening theme music for my ringtone. Might have to go back to that at some point.

There's just all sorts of wrong in that post.

There is no Darth Vader music. It's called the Imperial Death March!

 

[Osaurus]

Default ringtone is clip of I Hate People by Jemima Pearl.

You're as correct on this as you are on most topics.
