  • Maybe they're ignoring you . . .

    Stopped by the Green Wall last night to pick up a refill on a prescription. While I'm waiting, I'm wandering the store to kill time when I over hear this sucky lady very loudly complaining to her kids, with great profanity that impressed even me, about how such and such a person wasn't picking up as she was trying repeatedly to call them.

    SL: "He needs to change his ringtones to he knows its me when I call!" *said with much venom in her voice.

    My impression of the lady, from her too small tank top, loudly pink capris, and overhanging gut plus language that would make me blush was that so and so knew darned well who was calling and wouldn't have picked up no matter what the ring tone was!

    Maybe the person also knew it wouldn't be an important call. I'm on the phone all day at work, I don't get excited talking about useless stuff or hearing people bitch and whine when they call me.

      Oh I'm sure it wasn't the ringtone telling him who was calling. Caller ID is such a wonderful thing.
      Random conversation:
      Me: Okay..so I think I get why Zoro wears a bandana
      DDD: Cuz it's cool

      So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

            I'm thinking whoever she was trying to call probably did have a ringtone set up... from the sound of her, I'd go with the 'bitch bitch bitch bitch bitch' clip. No idea what it's from, or I'd link to it.

              I'd have probably made a comment about how if it was me, I'd have set her ringtone to "silent"; I've been known to make such comments a time or two. >_>

                This! But instead of bitch, bitch bitch, I think he'd have chosen "She drives me crazy," to keep with a public setting.

                If he's trying to avoid her, why on earth wouldn't he set a ringtone? Ringtone means never having to waste the time digging the phone out of the pants pocket to see who it is. (They also have "vibration" ringtones that have different patterns of vibes.)

                  How about Elton John's "The Bitch Is Back"?

                    I was thinking the ringtone should be "Kyle's Mom's a Bitch"

                      That's the one I was thinking of . . . and it's appropriate.

                          I'm thinking... he probably DOES have a ringtone for her. One that sounds like "Don't answer the phone!"

                          does it sound like this?

                            For a very brief time, I set my ringtone for my then-GF to Buckcherry's "Crazy Bitch." When she found out, she... wasn't too happy, though she admitted it was somewhat appropriate.

                            She had me change it to "She's a brick house" instead.

                            I had my parents' numbers and the home phone set to Silvertab's "Ain't Comin' Home," and the wholesale club's number to the Imperial March.
