Do you know anyone whose cell phone has a particularly annoying or funny ring?
What is it?

I used to work with a couple of people whose cell had the exact same ringtone: an annoying automated voice saying "You have an incoming call" over and over until the phone is answered.

3. I have a few rings
I've customized ringtones using music clips and imported them via bluetooth so I have different rings for my frequent callers I can identify them with. My wife did her own ringtone and put it in my phone when I wasn't looking. I was a little surprised the first time I heard Sir Mix A Lot rapping "I like big butts and I cannot lie" when she called me. :rofl:

7. My buddy has one that says
"Asshole calling! There's an asshole on the other end of the line, so hurry up and talk to the big asshole!"

Annoying is putting it mildly.

9. Does our own count?
I've got mine set to the Wonderpets song-which side of the cute/annoying line it's on is up to debate, of course-so I can pick it out in a campus full of cookie cutter pop and country ringtones. Worked like a charm, til my best friend decided to do the same...must have been revenge. XD

10. I had a friend whose cellphone was unbearably loud
and his ringtone? The chorus to "Crazy Bitch."

I can't believe this man is married...

16. I tried to do the bosun's whistle for text messages...
...but my phone won't let me customize those. I'm stuck with the generic beeps. :-(

17. A loud air horn sound
very annoying. Mine range from anyone calling using the ring, ring ring, rinnnnnng ringggggggggg tone. To my sons voice saying "Yo Mom, it's your son". My daughters voice saying "Hello Mother" to a very soft song of Something Sexy 'Bout The Rain. Nothing louder than what I can hear coming from my pant pocket. I can hear it ring,everyone doesn't have to.

Loved it when I first saw it, love it now.

Phone Recording Archive :D

21. mine is frogs, crickets and a bit of hillbilly m usic all blended together
it cracks me the hell up. It's also rather quiet, so as soon as I hear crickets and frogs I can answer it... I don't like music snippets, or loud noises.

It is embarrassing, however, when I'm in a meeting, have forgotten to turn the phone off, and then my purse starts chirping. Usually gets a few chuckles, though. :D

It never fails to scare the crap out of me. I need to change it.

25. My SIL has some sort of drunken smurf ringtone that's strangely hilarious.
I don't even know what it's saying, but it just rambles on in this chipmunk-esque voice, and never fails to make me laugh so hard I snort.

She has another that my brother's ex-girlfriend also had, which was cute at first but got annoying REALLY quick: a high-pitched little voice saying "Let me out! I'm stuck in your pocket!"

29. Yes- every person who has a "ringtone" other than a moderate beep
that includes songs, loud beeps, car alarm-like signals, and so forth.
