...throw it on the floor, jump up and down on it while wearing big boots, then set about it with a flame thrower?

She is constantly on Twitter/Facebook/text messaging friends and refuses to turn the key tone noises off.

I've been here less than 24 hours. It's going to be a looong five days. Save my sanity please.

Sneak down in the night and select the Russian language option. It's the only mature way to handle this...

Wait til she goes to the loo and turn the tones off? Ask her to turn them off as they're doing your head in?

The noises on an iPhone aren't that bad, but anything else would bother me.

What did she say when you asked her to turn them off?

Yanbu. I think it is very rude while in company to be playing with a phone.

But you could hide her charger lol

Xmas Confused

Why won't she disable the key tones!? Freak! Tell her only old people enable their key tones, if she thinks she's down with the kids that might embarrass her into disabling them!

Walk out of the room every time she does it?

"Oh, you were busy on your phone so I decided to go for a walk/go read a book/use the computer"
