Mine is the version of the Pokémon theme from X/Y because I'm a fucking nerd and proud.

My normal ringtone doesn't.

But my PagerDuty tone is a barbershop quartet singing that server is on fire. If they're gonna get me outta bed at 3 in G.D.A.M. at least they can sound nice.

Okay, that second half is frkkin hilarous, dude. Are you really taking about computer servers sending SMS alerts that triggers a barbershop quartet ringtone? I still have square-AF default sounds to alert me to my server’s high-priority alerts, it’s just an unusual one so I can ID it by ear better.

Well, I use the PagerDuty app, instead of pure SMS, but otherwise - yeah!

While my phone is always on vibrate, my ringtone is Bananaphone.

Because Impossibear is awesome.

Trololo guy. Why? Life is absurd.

My ring tone is the theme from the old Addams Family tv show, and my text notification is the Zelda opening chime.

Does nyancat have vocals?

If you have a ringtone in public, you are my enemy. You get a pass if it's because you have an on-call type of job for emergencies. But I'll think you're my enemy because I won't know that.

HA-HA-HA-HAAAAA -PCMR

Does this count? My reasoning is: BECAUSE I AM MIGHTY AND YOU ARE WEAK

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

IDK but it's funny to see people jump out of their skin when my mother's phone goes off.😆

Had an old on and off girlfriend - fantastic body, great sex, mad as a box of minions. Not a healthy relationship and 1.5 years later going nowhere. When she’d call, the iPhone would ring with Alan Parsons Project:

Don't answer me

Don't break the silence, don't let me win

Don't answer me

Stay on your island, don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone

Worked a treat.

Because mine is the Muppets singing Ode to Joy. No further explanation needed.

One of my co-workers is a stoic boomer who's in charge of a huge division of the company. His ringtone is the original Mahna Mahna and it cracks me up every single time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

I had that one for awhile, but the me-me-me-meeps won me over.

Since I own a smart watch my ringer is set to silent 99.99% of the time. A tiny buzz on my wrist is all I need, also no notifications for any type of social media to minimise screen time.

My in-laws on the other hand are both max volume ringtones with vocal-kind of people. It frightens me every time I'm driving with my father-in-law and his phone starts blasting the theme song from the series Outlander on max volume.

Sing me a song of a past that was gone? Seriously odd ringer choice

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Yes and also yes
