    My message recieved-ring tone is Sergeant Doakes saying “Surprise motherfucker!”.

    The real question is why would you have it any other way?

      Obviously you’re referring to James Doakes (from the tv show), but I’m now picturing Albert Doakes (from the books) trying to say this. It’s much more amusing.

      For a long time mine used to be “mail motherfucker” from Eurotrip (movie)

    Had an old on and off girlfriend - fantastic body, great sex, mad as a box of minions. Not a healthy relationship and 1.5 years later going nowhere. When she’d call, the iPhone would ring with Alan Parsons Project:

    Don’t answer me

    Don’t break the silence, don’t let me win

    Don’t answer me

    Stay on your island, don’t let me in

    Run away and hide from everyone

    Worked a treat.

    I don’t understand ever under any circumstances having your phone on anything but vibrate.

      If you’re being physically active you might not notice the vibrations, it also makes it easier to find when you’re aloof and set it somewhere random. If you’re dressed in multiple layers you wouldn’t notice it, also might not have pockets.

      On call schedules, in your gym bag. I imagine the vast majority of them are less attached to their phones and develop habits of leaving it in the other room for a while.

      It feels weird when some dude starts singing when someone calls someone.

    Since I own a smart watch my ringer is set to silent 99.99% of the time. A tiny buzz on my wrist is all I need, also no notifications for any type of social media to minimise screen time.

    My in-laws on the other hand are both max volume ringtones with vocal-kind of people. It frightens me every time I’m driving with my father-in-law and his phone starts blasting the theme song from the series Outlander on max volume.

    If you have a ringtone in public, you are my enemy. You get a pass if it’s because you have an on-call type of job for emergencies. But I’ll think you’re my enemy because I won’t know that.

    Because mine is the Muppets singing Ode to Joy. No further explanation needed.

      One of my co-workers is a stoic boomer who’s in charge of a huge division of the company. His ringtone is the original Mahna Mahna and it cracks me up every single time.

        I had that one for awhile, but the me-me-me-meeps won me over.

    Back when I had a flip phone, I realized that I could use any MP3 as a ringtone. So I used a song from a rhythm game that started with a woman yelling “Attention!”

    It was super effective.

      Holy shit I was just watching this last night. Frisky dingo was underrated.
