I was thinking of something like the Duff Man theme and slapping sounds and moans, but I feel that Lemmy knows better.

(Obviously, I would start texting and calling him during the next meeting)

My colleagues personal items and digital devices are off limits.

And, in the modern era, cellphones are extremely personal devices. Don't fuck with someone else's phone.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago

Exactly. That shit has their personal photos, financial info, connections to everyone they know and all their private conversations, etc , etc, etc. Don't fuck with it.

Anything that requires you to open an app, view any pictures, etc is a breach of privacy.

Does basically every human with a cellphone have their phone on vibrate at all times?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

When I bought a newer phone a few years ago, I was really disappointed with how weak the vibrate was. It's a flagship phone and I have the vibration intensity set to maximum, but I still often don't realize that my phone is vibrating in my pocket... especially at work. Never had that happen in a phone before. Idk if newer phones just ship with weaker vibration motors nowadays or if it's just this particular phone line.

That being said, I actually like my ringtone and notification sounds. I turn them on while at home but leave it on vibrate at work.

Pixel device?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nope. I don't keep my phone in my pocket all the time and don't want a smart watch at all to randomly vibrate against me.

I have my phone on vibrate, don’t keep it on me all the time and don’t have a smartwatch

A pro-union announcement. He'll get fired immediately.

Oops I did it again by Britney Spears

Songs a banger tbh

The sound of Agatha Trunchbull's angry grunt as she throws the shot put in her office to intimidate Ms. Honey in Matilda (1996).

Or really, any of the noises she makes throughout that entire movie.

Disgusting things, children. Glad I never was one.

The chorus of this masterpiece, enough to be funny without going too mutch over the edge.

Find the most erotic moaning you can and change the ring tone for an incoming call. Bonus points if they are in the confessional booth at church when the phone goes off.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I would like to point out I did not ask lemmy "What morals would you preach to strangers on the Internet without knowing the specific context of the situation", but what sounds you would set.

All of you nicely mannered boys and girls get a pat on the head, though.

Surprised no one has mentioned Archer's ringtone.

You lock it.

Just one, extremely long and wavery fart noise that ends pretty wet for the ringtone.

For notifications, maxed out volume deathmetal screams.

It's the simple things in life!

A P.E.T. (Personal Electronic Thing) is an increadibly personal item, it often litterarly carries the key's to a person's bank account, it carries their personal and sometimes intimite photos, it carries their passwords, their entertainment, their search history and much, much more.

Doing ANYTHING other than locking the device will make you the prime suspect in any kind of legal/trust issue the phone get's involved in.

We all work from home. I don't get it.
