How else are people at Trader Joes going to hear Cannibal Corpse?

The song “You Suffer” by Napalm Death is the perfect text notification tone.

My message recieved-ring tone is Sergeant Doakes saying “Surprise motherfucker!”.

The real question is why would you have it any other way?

Obviously you’re referring to James Doakes (from the tv show), but I’m now picturing Albert Doakes (from the books) trying to say this. It’s much more amusing.

For a long time mine used to be “mail motherfucker” from Eurotrip (movie)

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.

I don’t understand ever under any circumstances having your phone on anything but vibrate.

Because maybe I want to be alerted when my phone goes off?

Why doesn’t vibrate alert you?

Phone isn’t always in pocket, or even if it is I might just not notice it.

If you’re being physically active you might not notice the vibrations, it also makes it easier to find when you’re aloof and set it somewhere random. If you’re dressed in multiple layers you wouldn’t notice it, also might not have pockets.

What’s your point? I’m not going to answer anyway so not even noticing just skips a step

Are you kidding? Vibrate is way worse.

I’m always kidding, but no. Vibrate is way worse ^to me^

On call schedules, in your gym bag. I imagine the vast majority of them are less attached to their phones and develop habits of leaving it in the other room for a while.
