Annoying rings
It's one thing for a little "beep" to go off in a movie theater or restaurant - it's quite a different story when the surrounding patrons have to listen to electronic versions of Pachelbel's Canon or "Oops I Did It Again." You wouldn't start singing it at the top of your lungs in public, so why is it acceptable if it's coming from your phone? It's even worse when I have to hear it in the office over and over again because the person in the next office has stepped out without taking his cell phone. And don't give the excuse "But if I have a distinctive ring I can be sure that it's my phone that's ringing and not someone else's." HELLO??!! It's right next to you and you can't tell that it's your phone? Even from the deep dark abyss that is my purse, I can tell when my phone is making its unobtrusive little beep.
Pardon the early morning rant - not enough coffee yet ... one simple rule:
No novelty rings in public!
