If someone continually leaves their phone on their desk, just answer it and say "Morning, NSU Clinic"...

I had a bit from south park as my mobile ringtone for a bit. The part where Timmy is the singer in a rock band. I had to get rid of it as it was a bit too abrupt. The office would be really quiet with people working/wasting time on the net and then all of a sudden .............. TIMMMY ..... TIMMY..... TIMMY ... TIM .. . TIM ... TIMMMY. It's quite funny to watch everybody around you jump!
I don't even know what sound my phone makes anymore as I leave it on silent all the time now.

Eventually she started leaving it in her handbag, or in her desk drawer. At least it wasn't so intrusive there.

The answer to this is to press their Answer button followed immediately by the Hang-up button. The person at the other end will call back straight away then you do it again. After a few goes at this the person ringing gets really mad with the twonk who has left the phone on their desk.
I hate the pretentious James Blunts who have classical music as a ringtone to try and convince you how educated and superior they are.

What a bizarre post! What is the point of working if not to get out there and irritate a whole new bunch of people? It gets very dull just annoying one's family and friends (if one has any). In addition to leaving my mobile on my desk I like to wander about glowering chadlike at people over the top of partitions, banging the fire extinguishers and screaming "the messiah is coming" at the top of my voice. A very good tactic is to crap into the toner box of the office laser printer.

I once worked in a role as a permie where you were expected to work on the call-out rota. The firm supplied you with a laptop to log into the works mainframe with and, because it would use dial-up (no broadband in these pre-techniological times) they also supplied a "mobile" phone with which to call in and talk to the operations room.
Except the "mobile" phone really wasn't. It was actually bigger than the laptop it came with - all in one hugh satchel.Last edited by KathyWoolfe; 19 December 2007, 15:06.

Now they'll even fit in your trouser pocket, and vibrate, it's marvelous is it not.
I believe it was one of these badgers

Originally posted by Chantho View PostI thought the point of mobile phones was that they could be carried with you. So why do the muppets here persist in leaving mobiles on their desks, so that we can hear their carppy ringtones when they are off elsewhere?
No better are the idiots who call these numbers and allow them to ring scores of times before ending the call.
Now they'll even fit in your trouser pocket, and vibrate, it's marvelous is it not.
