Listens to a song

Artist randomly uses the fucking ringtone of my alarm

Dies

I never just get called on teams, they always ask "are you available for a quick call?" first.

I heard the ringtone from the soft phone we used on a radio listener call in and fucking PANICKED

Where I work people just call if you show as available. Imo this should warrant extra hazard pay.

I changed mine from the default to 'bubble'.

There's one guy at work who refuses to warn people. Like hell, no. You can wait while I try to find my headset.

The Teams ring tone was one of the “horns” in Forza Horizon. I would use it during races and watch as people suddenly stopped and went into their pause menu. Ultimate psychological warfare.

I had one guy that would always no warn call me, and I would immediately decline it and ping him “what did you need?”

Deep cut: the whistle from Meccha Chameleon

No one in my office does that but this new VP they hired is "trying to change the culture" I want to die

This would happen to me if someone played the guitar chord used as a notification sound in aMSN (a TCL/tk msn client) circa 2006.

Actually it would also happen if they used the original msn message sound...

Bu-dong-dong!

The first time I heard Rock the Casbah by The Clash, it was in the time of Nokia phones, and there is a part in the background of that song that I swear sounds like a Nokia ringtone.

I honestly have no idea how they even made the sound as the song came out decades before cellphone ringtones were a thing.

Wait what? You have a phone that you use specifically (and only) to call into radio shows??

'Nam flashbacks from work

nudge

I have to manage my team for a few hours every night in-between supervisors duty cycles, we were getting slammed with issues one night and one junior coworker messaged me about something serious.

Without thinking I called her on teams without asking first, when she answered I heard a baby crying, once I found out it was my call that woke him up since he would only sleep in her lap I felt like crap. I ended up taking over the issue from her out of guilt and have never called anyone without asking again.

hah! I stopped using MSN and started using aMSN before they introduced nudges. I do recognise the sound but it's not quite as visceral as the original message noise!

It was a digital wristwatch:

The version of the song on Combat Rock, as well as many other Clash compilations, features an electronic sound effect beginning at the 1:52 minute point of the song. This noise is a monophonic version of the song "Dixie". The sound effect source was generated by the alarm from a digital wristwatch that Mick Jones owned.

The radio host probably used the same soft phone software we used to take incoming calls from customers

I changed to a new computer today. I had both machines up and running during the switch when someone rang on teams. The horror of getting the teams ringtone from multiple machines simultaneously was terrible.

Neat. I guess I never bothered to look into it haha
