I have the stupid default t-mobile ring because I can't figure out how to change it. When I had a different phone where it was easier, I used Weird Al's White and Nerdy. Until it rang on the bus, where I was one of the only white people, so I was embarrassed and changed it.

Cool. I just used hotwire for a car rental for the first time and I got Hertz (which is nice because I've never seen extra fees like the ones at DFW).

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

On my old phone I had "Axel F" as my ringtone for callers without ID, but I haven't set that up on my new phone yet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

What is your ringtone?

Enter Sandman.

Our wings are not tired.

what I don't understand is why they won't let you do custom text message notifications. I had to change my text message notification sound from the "bloo-oop" sound to the ding, but still pretty common.

Nor separate sounds for various email accounts. That drives me nuts. Since I have to put in a passcode pretty much every time I pick up the thing just to see if I've got mail, and the mail envelop doesn't indicate a difference in email accounts...it's the ONE thing I really miss from my old Treo.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I used Weird Al's White and Nerdy. Until it rang on the bus, where I was one of the only white people, so I was embarrassed and changed it.

Please tell me you changed to Pretty Fly for a White Guy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One of the developers here has a child's laugh as his ringtone. I have no idea if it's his kid, but it makes me smile every time it goes off.

I debate switching my ring profile to something less geeky for work, but it doesn't ring often, and unlike everyone else in my teams, I don't bring it into meetings.

Besides, I like the confidence of knowing that when it rings, that's my phone. No default ringtones for me--not even any ringtones off the phone's menu.

What is your ringtone?

"Future Proof," by Massive Attack.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not being embarassed if it went off inappropriately was a key factor in my song choice. Edit: I mean, because I would be embarassed enough at the inappropriate phone-ringing, so I needed to make sure the ring itself wouldn't make things worse.

Our HR guy's personal phone ringtone is an old school sonar ping. Everyone knows his phone is ringing.

I switch between the Addam's Family and the Man From UNCLE. My blackberry - which is employer provided - is Suicide is Painless (it's never good news when it rings)
