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 seem 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 don’t get that at all. I assume it’s partly some ADHD or autism or what do i know. I had a girlfriend who would unbuckle her seatbelt 5min before we arrived and the car would just beep louder and louder and whatever. It drove me insane. I know it’s just a minor thing, but i never understood how you couldn’t be bothered with that. Especially because it’s very easy to not do that. I never got used to it, when she did it when i was driving, i would just stop and wait until she buckled up again.
When i was around 14, around the nokia 3210 times, we all made our own ringtones.we would download cheat sheets of music we liked and put it in and suddenly: friends theme song.
One of my friend made a voice recording where he sang: “Telephone… Pick up. Telephone… Pick up”.
Even now this is the funniest ringtone i have ever heard, and i had it as my own ringtone until my phone died. Even now when i hear a phone i can only think: telephone… Pick up!
Not boomers, they love the constant dings and obnoxious ringtones to be as loud as possible.
don’t forget the type sounds

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.
