Telephones.

[Uncle_bob]

We use them, we love them, we need them. Except Uncle.

Ohhh what must have happened when the telephone was invented!

And why the fuck do the idiots at the telephone companies STILL manufacture telephones with the same fucking annoying ring? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_nono.gif

Ok, Mr.TelephoneCompanyCEO, Uncle will shove this telephone into your ear and call you every fucking 5 minutes so you can see how damn annoying it is to have a RING RING RING blaring off right next to your ears! And after you lose your sanity and find yourself bleeding to death after you slit your wrists, you'll realise how damn stupid it was to keep the same telephone ring instead of a hum or a tone. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

You probably won't believe this but, just 3 hours ago....my phone became useless. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

I went to pick it up and the reception just started blaring....like I was holding a microphone up to a speaker. Everytime the phone goes toward the base it starts that sound again. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif

It's going to suck when someone picks up my phone and the person on the end gets a big "BLEEEEEEERRRR" in their ear. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

I don't know what's wrong with it, but should I get a new one instead of trying to fix it?!

[hucasts_rock]

Our living room phone is set up to where it plays tunes when friends or relatives call, so I can get annoyed to different tunes! (along with 2 other phones blaring in the distance) http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Myopathy]

I don't have a home phone. I only use my cell phone. Even when I was living in the dorm, I never used the phone there. It was kind of just there for show.

[AUTO_]

Scenario:

I'm playing Socom 2, probably a clan war.

It's a 2 on 2 at the moment and my clan is losing the war 5 to 4 (rounds).

The phone rings.

It rings again.

Rings a 3rd time--followed by my mom clammering to find it (can hear her upstairs).

Prior to 4th ring my mom yells at me in the basement to pick up the phone.

Phone rings fourth time and I rush to answer it.

X_person hangs up right before I say "hello?".

Mom gives me lecture how videogames distract me from everything else and that I need more responsibility.

I go back to TV to find me and my other clan mate are dead and we've lost the war.

I say 'fuck' to myself over and over again as game loads.













....yeah....




I know what you mean.

[Nazo]

Hey, you guys don't know the meaning of a "Cell Phone" til you get to either here in Korea, or Japan. I've lived in both and I've NEVER had the chance to escape from the torment of crappy cell phone bells. Home phones aren't that bad, but cells are torture... That's why I put mine on vibration.

But seriously this is getting to be a terrible probl- great, there goes my home fone for the 7th time today! And its NEVER for me either- either from one of my sister's billion friends or my mom's friends.... If its ever for me, its from my dad or some phone advertiser. Grrr..!!!



If I hear that Harry Potter bell ring again on my sister's phone, I will friggin rip it in half.

[KodiaX987]

What annoys me are the super high-pitched trills those fucking cellphones make. Each time I hear one, I feel like my head's about to explode. And that counts for my own cellular as well.

Ugh.
I had to listen to three high-pitched minutes of "Tipsy" whilst the stupid girl scrambled to turn it off. The kicker is, we were in a fucking movie theater. Such ignorance.

[DruidMettool]

I hate when people set popular rap songs and annoying little tunes as their ringtone.

My Cellphone, which I just barely use, has a regular ringtone. And when it rang once, someone asked me why I didn't set my Ringtone to anything interesting. "Interesting"? More like "REALLY FUCKING ANNOYING AND UNORIGINAL".

http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif That happens every day. I went to go watch Shrek 2, and about 5 times, I heard distinct bell sounds at max vol. People kept squirming in their seats and wishing that they'd either get it or turn it off.

http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_nono.gif Even worse, this happens at church. Ignorant fools.

The annoying ring is to catch your attention and make you want to pick up the phone. As its so annoying you've got a bigger priority to go answer it. Same as with Fire Alarms; its annoying but gets your attention quickly.

I would have to agree with whoever said that Rap/hip hop mobile phone tunes are annoying, but in a way im no better. Ive got the Billy Hatcher theme song on polyphonic when someone calls me.

[DruidMettool]

I have the Spongebob theme on mine... I never use it, though.

This reminds me, remember when Cell Phones were once used as a way of communication? Yknow... when you talk to a person from a long distance? Dosen't seem that way any more.

[Shammed]

A "popular hip hop" ringtone is no more unoriginal than a high-pitched default cell phone tone.

The only things about cell phones that can annoy me at times are: (a) obviously at the movies, (b) barely visible headsets/earpieces that make you think people are talking to you, or (c) when someone is in a big conversation and is really loud about it.

If anything, the telephone ring deters Uncle from answering the phone. He never answers the phone unless it's a call he's expecting or if it's an important call for someone in the house. Uncle knows he won't burn to death if he doesn't answer the phone.

[Blitzkommando]

I disconnected my phone in my room. Phones are perhaps the most annoying necessity invention of all time... Getting a phone call every day during our dinner and movie time makes me, shall we say, a bit cheesed off...

[badbitz]

At least you can set your cell phone on vibration...
And actually, I like many cell phone bleeping tunes.

[Ness]

My best firend likes to torture me by preeviewing all his ringtones. He has one of those old, sucky phones with the high-pitched ringtones.

[InfernoNR7]

Don't_Even_Get_Me_Started.... On my alarm clock that is. God, I can fricken be woken up by someone wispering in my ear, so why the fricken heck do I have to have a ring that'd wake up the neighboors? This thing is SOOOOOOooooo loud, and it's right nest to my head. God.

Yes, cells are annoying, I like my cell ring, it's not too annoying, not too loud, but if it keeps going it does get annoying. I hate my dad's, it's SOOOOOO loud, and shrill GODDARN.

Well, my purpose was served.
