Angry Annoying Ringtones

Gawd, I hate ringtones. Especially at work - I don't know what it is, but the people here have the WORST ringtones.

This one person never silences her goddamn phone and it's constantly ringing, "Oh When the Saints Comes Marching In", and not only is that song annoying, the cheapness of the Midi format just makes it soooo irritating. And she's never around to pick up, so it keeps going and going and going!

Another: Macarena.

People need to be shot.

One time I was on the bus and this lady's phone starting to ring.


It was the coolest ringtone I've ever heard in my life, it wasn't even a song...it was a fucking CRAZY midi effect that sounded like pulsating fireflies or some shit. It seriously sounded like it was coming from all directions at once, everyone on the bus kinda smiled when it rang because it sounded so cool.

More ringtones should be like this.

I'm pretty sure I have an annoying ringtone... But it can't be as bad as Chris's. His is set to midi rag time, and it went off once in the MoMA.

I'm glad it went off in the MoMA, you probably got dirty looks from some group of pretentious post-post-modernists studying some social reference to a trashbag of socks or some shit.

Man, I hate art.

I like to act like an uneducated retard in art museums as much as possible, it gives the circle jerk something to talk about

My ringtone is actually the entire Adore album in midi form. I let it play four times through before I pick up.

That was neither a dildo nor boob joke. Just saying my phone's on vibrate and you should all do the same.

I was strictly a vibrate man for like 4 years...until I got a phone that supports mp3. Now it's "O Valencia!" by the Decemberists...at least it's not a shitty top 40 hip hop song like everyone else I know.

I'm sure they do, but I shouldn't have to download it. It should already be on my phone. I ain't paying extra for that shit, yo. It's bad enough they have the voicemail people talk for nearly a minute before you can leave a message just so they can get that extra airtime money.

that's fucking annoying. i have a friend who doesn't have a computer set up, so we've been in constant contact through voice mail, and i can't hit one or # to go directly to her voice mail, and i have to sit through not only HER message, but another 30 seconds or more of the woman giving me TONS of options. Jesus!

Mine is a GNR song, but I'm smart enough to use vibrate (or silent if I'm texting) at work.

i have different ringtones so i know who's calling when my phone is in my pocket. my generic "i don't recognize this number" ring is the only midi i use. the theme from the a-team.
