    I hate when they do it in movies and the character takes so long to wake up and turn it off. I can feel my blood pressure rise the longer it goes.

    We can shorten it to just the first six words.

    People: if your phone makes a sound in public, you are wrong.

    Our on-call software apparently causes iphones to play the same sound as an earthquake alert here in Japan. Coworkers have had some literal ptsd-like experi nces and gotten shocked reactions when it goes off in public (at least by default, the sound is on).

    On Android I just get some piddly ‘ding’ I have to set to retrigger as it won’t even wake me up.

    My wake up alarm is the cuckoo clock.

    Sometimes I hear a real one in public and you’re so right.

    Especially when it is my on call helpdesk ring tone. I’ll instantly pull harder thousand yard stare than Cillian Murphy on my face.

      That’s exactly why I set a custom, selfrecorded ringtone as my on call ringtone. I had used a default one prior, but after a few small heart attacks, it was a no brainer.

        I actually do this with my notification sound too, but never got around to making a ringtone. Very few people call me to my personal, and I don’t want to bother with the work phone since I’ll just end up hating that sound no matter what it is.

    Najgorszą rzeczą jest sytuacja, gdy rozbiłeś ekran telefonu, próbując wyłączyć alarm, a teraz nie ma żadnej metody na wyłączenie alarmu Wrrrr….

    Isn’t it amazing how we become so conditioned to specific sounds. Iphones have us trained like we were dogs

        Yeah, of course you can.

        I use this for mine since it starts quiet and ramps up. If I’m awake it’s not startling, if I’m asleep it’ll wake me when the woman starts singing.

        But you don’t want to change your tones. Most people have separate ones for each type of set alert. Let’s you know what the alert is without looking
