  Not boomers, they love the constant dings and obnoxious ringtones to be as loud as possible.

      Let’s be honest with this one. Most are probably just too lazy or inept feeling to figure out how to turn them off for themselves. The phone companies seems to have their software install with max volume and haptics turned on by default.

      …and the call back ring tones. For about 5 years i hated calling one person in particular because id have to listen to Hey, Soul Sister every…fricken…time.

    I’m not a boomer but do love when my wife calls and everyone gets to hear the ever-classic ‘Helo Moto’ ringtone.

    My dad’s ringtone is a motorcycle engine revving at max volume, and he never silences it. He also just lets it ring when he doesn’t want to answer.

  We decided that ringtone were bullshit exactly when we had the option to have any sound imaginable for free.

  Before that…

    Women in my experience point blank refused to keep their phones in their pocket and instead put it in the purse along with everything else so whenever it rings (assuming they even hear it in there) it’s always a mad dash to get it out before the person on the other end dies of old age.

      I’ll apologize first: Sorry, kind internet stranger, you walked right in one of my pet peeves. (Now I feel morally justified in starting my rant with a level of emotional involvement that is totally and admittedly unjustified)

      WOMEN’S POCKETS ARE A F****ING JOKE! Have you ever tried putting anything more that the glimmering sparkle of a summer night in a woman pants pocket? It either falls right off or tries to stab the kidney once the poor girl sits down. Usually both.

      Because pants need to be stupidly skinny and form fitting, not made for comfort or for carrying anything!

      My toddler’s pockets (2 years old) are bigger than mine!

      /end rant, feel free to ring me up for extra rants on the subject

    I feel like i’ve become highly attuned to the sound of a phone and can hear it anywhere in a room. The disadvantage is of course a lingering stress whenever i get confused with a similar sound or someone elses phone
