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

Smart Phones..........Please stop.... Bunch of hunched over Zombies staring at their phones non-stop......

Tell her no

Must have a very easy life if a ring tone is what fires you up.

 

[Bull Dozier]

I'm currently rolling with the music that played during Match Game when the stars were filling out their answer cards. Two reasons for this choice. First, Match Game rules. Second, I thought it was a better choice than the Jeopardy theme to listen to while I looked at the caller ID and decided if I wanted to answer it.

It's on mute at work however.

Perfectly acceptable for a grown man to have a custom ring tone. Now a grown man with a ring back song, super gay.

This. x1000. Again - you can't have my Kashmir when someone is calling me so just don't go there.

But if I'm calling someone with a Y chromosome and I hear music on my end I hang up.

I can dig that. Always thought of using Tic-Tac-Dough myself.

I had a brief moment of lack of clarity when I had downloaded from the app (Zedge I think) the No Wammy No Wammy Stop! ringtone. My thinking was this - it's funny and I would laugh probably the first dozen or so times, and if anyone was with me and heard it for the first time they'd probably laugh too. Probably. But not always. And standing outside the courthouse and hearing Kashmir is simply better than talking to someone whose marriage is ending because their spouse cheated on them and all of the sudden they hear No Wammy No Wammy Stop!

 

[FUBAR]

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.

the only issue here is the loudness of the ring. Regardless of whether it's a song, a ring, a duck's quack, dog barking, etc. it should be no louder than necessary to get your attention.

I have a few ringtones saved from songs - Sir Duke is for my parents, the Walker (the whistling part) is my default, the intro to Dropkick Murphys "For Boston" is the ringtone for my running friends.

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

My wife tone is the piano riff from Thorogoods "Bad to the bone"...

Kitchy ring tones probably aren't the way to go in that kind of professional situation.

Vibrate.

Your clients don't want to hear your damn cell phone.

I'm sorry your taste in music and/or comedy is so bad that you choose to hide it from the general public.

 

[pollardsvision]

Seriously though how many of you who claim you need a ringer have an iPhone? I keep mine in my front pocket and it feels like a 2.0 earthquake when it goes off. I've gotten to learn which vibration is a call, which is a text, and which is an e-mail.

What about those those that find an earthquake going off in their pocket or on the desk to be more annoying than a low volume, simple ring tone?

 

[E Street Brat]

I use Twisted Nerve from Kill Bill. Is that acceptable?

 

[Dentist]

Stop it.

See this is good stuff, i have a specific ring tone for individual people (my top 10-12 most frequent callers) and the song/tone I pick I associate with the person in some way so I know who is calling without even having to look at the phone.

It's not my personal top 10 hits, the songs mean something about the friend/family member in question

 

[el centro]

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

I work in an office with patients coming & going, and I've heard many. The Darth Vader theme is a good one, but my favorite of all time was a LOUD 3-alarm, nuclear meltdown-like sound with an electronic voice yelling - "THE WIFE IS CALLING…. (ALARM BELLS)… THE WIFE IS CALLING"

Classic!

In public or your home or private office have whatever ringtone floats your boat. If you work in a shared office space put your ####### phone on vibrate.

Haven't had my ringer on in 4+ years. If I ever do have a ringer on... I have the Benny Hill theme song as the ringer.

I'm trying to think of an alternative and I can't think of another one to try.

Same here, everyone at least smiles if not outright laughs when they hear my phone ring.

Exactly. People are so unsociable now.
