Ringtones rank among the most annoying of modern inconveniences.
Unfortunately, most people apparently need to hear that it is not actually cool to have the Star Wars theme echoing tinnily but noisily from your pocket. And the Hallelujah chorus really was not conceived as a notification that Bob is caling to inquire whether or not your toenails need trimming this evening.
Would it really, really, really be so bad if a phone just actually sounded like a … phone?
Bah. Humbug.
Now I’ll dismount, etc.
It’s become so bad that my telephone doesn’t even come with a normal phone sound, all it has is ringtones, and I really, really don’t want them.
