I heard this obnoxious ring tone go on for ages. Awful, horrible. I looked up the song to find out it's some fucking phineas and pherb shit

God. Turn your ringer off. I literally have never had a cellphone on anything other than vibrate. Turn your ringer off

Ya, I work with a lady he keeps her phone on all shift...I can't describe the sound that her text updates are but it's annoying as hell. She describes it as a 'The Plot Thickens sound.' She a generally nice lady, and used to work with Open Heart Surgeons. So, she's smart but also ditsy as fuck. Nice lady when she stops her shit down, but she comes off as a total airhead a lot of the time. It's an odd dichotomy.

But ya, Boomers. >_>
They had a good run, but I won't miss a lot of the Boomer'ness when it's gone.

Oh god no, it's not that bad...
It just kinda goes....Errr-raaa.

It's relatively short, but still, the sound pierces everything, and it's just not something I need to hear.

I've never understood this sort of thing either. I remember once this woman came into my work a couple years back, and she had some kind of purse alarm that would go off if she took for her purse for more than a few seconds, (it was PIERCING by the way), and she just left that thing going off for like 10 minutes while she tried to explain what she wanted to do. It didn't seem to bother her at all, but you couldn't hardly even hear her over the alarm.

Morning Meow!!

On the radio show Love Line...I'd assume you know of it...there used to be callers that had their smoke detectors beeping in the background....it became a thing. Adam Carolla would actually wait and call out the time to the next beep.

I say that to say, I guess some people live in such Chaos that they don't even notice...or maybe kinda like this sort of thing.

~Personally, it drives me nuts.

Morning!

And yikes. I'm way too light a sleeper to manage even a day with that going off. (I remember once when it started going off in the middle of the night, I just put a big piece of duct tape right over the speaker to help muffle it. Actually worked alright.

Hehe, I once took one and threw it in the backyard.

Vibrate only works if you never do anything active where you have to put your phone somewhere. I just use FF6 or Earthbound music tho. I think anything with lyrics is annoying.

When this happens and I have to put my phone someplace I still leave it on vibrate, because I'm not going to answer it if I'm doing something that necessitates putting it down in the first place

I just realized you're the guy that doesn't want my input lol. We really don't agree on anything.. I'll take my leave.

I will say, I can't argue that you're on the side that's a less annoyance. I just think it's necessary at times. The woman definitely seems oblivious to what annoys those around here. She might as well had Baby Shark.

We agree that RE6 is a great game, but that's all that comes to mind. I just think your advice tends to not be applicable since you have a knack for misreading situations or filling in the blanks with your imagination. I don't dislike you or anything

I don't even disagree with that. But tbf, people leave a lot of blanks to fill in. I'm mostly just taking a shot and waiting for a response to correct where I'm wrong. Usually people are more likely to fill in the blanks of they're in a defensive position and then I take what they correct at face value. Definitely not the most likable persona, but it's more about information mining. Makes the conversations more entertaining faster. I just have no pride put in being wrong or right and never actually solidify any judgements I express. Unless they're a repeat offender that makes it obvious.

I also just realized who you were through your sig.
