    I absolutely cannot bear novelty/music ringtones. I might resurrect the 'little things that annoy you...' thread, just to add this to it. Gggrrrrrrrr.

    If a pimp rings and they have a gig that is of relevance they will leave a message, if they don't it is a fishing call.

      I have Ecce Gratum from Carmina Burana although my phone is almost always on silent.
      While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

        I change my ringtones all the time now that you can use MP3s which means going through the music collection and finding weird and wonderful obscurities (or download some real strange stuff from WFMU.) At work its on vibrate though.

        We have a new phone system at work, one of these VOIP thingies, which also has a web interface so you can do wonderful things with it. As everyone around me has discovered, me too now, you can upload MP3s to the phone via the web interface so everyone now has a 'unique' ringtone. Everything from the theme to Knightrider via Pippi Langstrumpf cna b heard blaring out all day. (We've also worked out how to hack them by sending HTML to them and using other peoples phones...)

          If I worked at your place I'd bring an AK47 to work and spray you all.

                I have one just for train journeys “This train is running approximately thirty minutes late.”

                  Many years ago when mobiles were slowly starting to get used, primarily by city boys ringing to tell their girlies that they were on the train I knew this old boy who was slowly starting to get pissed off with these people on the train. So one fine evening he stuck an old Bakelite telephone in a plastic bag and an alarm clock set to go off a few minutes before his stop. You should have seen the other commuters faces when the alarm went off, he pulled this huge old phone out of the plastic bag and bellowed down the phone that he would shortly be arriving and that dinner had better be on the table for him

                    I've got Park Life. But it's usually on silent/vibrate.
