Ring tones suck.

I mean … they are great. Your latest ring tone is great for you. Not for me. Your tastes are different from mine.

So please keep your mobile phones in silent mode. Always. Please.

My mobile phone has not made any sound for the past 5 years, and you know what? It feels great that I haven’t polluted the environment with unwanted noise. I haven’t irritated innocent people with my brand new ring tone in any occasion. I haven’t missed any phone calls because of it either.The silent mode with vibration turned on works fine for me. Don’t tell me that you have some very important calls to attend which cannot be missed. You won’t miss the calls if you care enough.

Or you could do another thing. You could ask my permission to disturb me before your phone rings.

The current system of alerting with loud ring tones is so wrong. It is a big disturbance to all of us. It feels horrible if your mobile phone rings in between a direct conversation. I wish someone come up with a better solution of alerting people when the phone rings. Vibration is fine till then.
