Cal's mobile tip of the day

Full disclosure: the above sign was taped to my phone.

The ring is chirping birds which I'm not all that fond of, but drives the dogs batty. I haven't found my favourite genre of "Legolass calling from Rivendell" type of ring.

Excellent selective use of ALL CAPS. Leading's a bit tight.

thank you, now i'll go without killing someone one day longer. i've been singing the various ringers around work in my sleep. i hardly ever turn my ringer on, so when i'm waring headphones people need to tell me that my phone is buzzing.

2lmc are da ultimate purveyors of Telling It Like It Is. and left-on-desk mobiles are indeed an uber-irritant. Especially when it's a stupid ring tone. "Oh, the Imperial March from Star Wars in a polyphonic stylee, how witty".

vrai the dotty prof. says:

"sorry... trade secret"

drat, must be a server thing. although if it's instead related to an upcoming feature, it should be quite clear... :)

jason044 says:

:P LOL I actually printed this picture and posted copies of it in my office where this sort of happens to numerous phones on my side of the building. And they have some of the loudest most annoying rings ever. We'll see if things change.

supawako says:

hahaha.. they should print those on post-its. i'd probably go through a pack a day in my office.

itchy biscuit says:

I'd get a note like that if I still worked in an office.
Look, what's the point of a loud piercing ring if I can't explore the further reaches of its, ah, reach?

And as for the ringtone, look, sometimes I like to be in a different room from it too, okay?

Hmm... maybe someone should turn their phone off at work, or if they use it for their job, keep it on their person? ;)

The photo made its way to passiveaggressivenotes.com. Heh. Weird to run across a name I know on an unrelated site. It make the web seem smaller somehow.

I think this is more of an aggressive-aggressive note.

dannyman says:

I usually disassemble the phone, or bury it deep in the back of a drawer. Anything to silence the thing.

Bunnyfunster says:

Office manager put out a notice asking people not to leave their mobile phones on their desk because it was annoying others when they ring..... everyone ignored him so he started picking up the phones then threw them in a time locked safe until the end of the working day.... even he can't unlock the safe once it's time locked so you had to wait until 5 pm to get your phone back.

Nobody leaves their phones on the desks anymore :)
