My phone when I get a text beeps. Once.

DP has some dodgy guitar rift and as the football on and he appears to be in a huge text conversation about it, it's going off every thirty seconds.

WIBU to shove it up his bloody arse?

I used to have Quagmire from Family Guy as mine. Grin

Shove it right up his arse. No lube. It will serve him right.

YANBU, DH has an annoying wrestling one, and one for low battery.

I could happily shove his phone where the sun don't shine when it goes off while I'm watching TV.

Do you remember the crazy frog? I used to work with a guy that had it as his text alert. Angry

years ago i was at work and a male patients phone went of in is his pocket, his ringtone was a woman making very erm.. "happy" noises. was really funny.

Empusa · 15/06/2012 23:13

Mine yells "Cake or death?" at me Grin, my ringtone used to be, "Aaaaaagh! I'm covered in beeeeeees!!"

I have "it's so fluffy!" from Despicable Me Grin

My brother (called Dave) used to have the League of Gentlemen's Papa Lazarou going "Hello Da-ave? Is Dave there? I have some pegs to sell you, Dave!"

Funny yet deeply creepy...

That is excellent Lovecat!

I have Brian from Family Guy saying "no calls ... don't make me beg" over and over. Actually it's quite annoying.

Put it on vibrate, stick it up his arse, and then send him a text. :)

slowestwildebeast · 16/06/2012 09:18

hm. yanbu. irrirating and attention seeking. I keep mine on silent, dp has beepy shit for emails and texts. Why would you put a tune for a text unless you a. have no friends or b. are 15. ?

I have 'adopted' DGD (she calls DH and I Nanna and Grumpa, and is treated like a DGD Grin)

She recorded on my voice notes, best one is the ring tone for DH calling
'Oh NO! its Grumpa AGAIN

StepOutOfSpring · 16/06/2012 09:43

YANBU. I know the horrid guitar riff you mean! Why not put yours onto something even more irritating, send yourself a text every 30 minutes and then you can mutually agree on no more text tunes!

storminabuttercup · 16/06/2012 10:05

Good idea to change my own to prove a point.

I'm lucky that he hasn't downloaded songs on to this one yet as with the old one he had some rock song as the ringer for calls and when the phone went he would do a rather embarrassing air guitar before answering it.

I now realise DP is a twat

I like the sound of your dh! I have ac/dc as my text alert and guns and roses as my ringtone. How on earth can you hear 'one beep' in an ordinary house ? ( well, if ,like mine, it is full of kids, dogs, noise etc)?

storminabuttercup · 16/06/2012 11:34

fairies the song wasn't a 'cool' song. Some band called 'the twing' or something. Grin

I have 'Starlight' by Muse as my text alert, and 'Supermassive Black Hole' as my ringtone Blush

jamdonut · 16/06/2012 12:43

This is partly,because I don't hear beeps or ding-dongsvery well,cos my hearing is not great. My friend has Yoda saying" Hmmm..a message from the dark side you have". My DH had my son record "Dad, your phones ringing....answer it NOW!"
