- Gigachad 1y agoIt's become almost rude to have a ringtone these days.
- pjmlp 1y agoAn US thing?
- AlecSchueler 1y agoHere in the Netherlands it would seen as very peculiar to have a ringtone enabled.
- pjmlp 1y agoHere in Germany (actual residence), Portugal and Spain (as my home culture), Italy and Greece (relatives), it is still quite common, unless people are at work, or at places like cinema and theater.
- AlecSchueler 1y agoThe point is that it's not only seen as odd in the US. That there are counterexamples where it's normal doesn't change that.
- a5c11 1y agoThere are places where one should mute the phone, like cinemas, offices, cafes, etc. Other than that, I'd like to hear when someone is trying to reach me.
- stephen_g 1y agoSeverance? Or are there others too?!
- aaronbaugher 1y agoI've noticed in a lot of newer movies, people's phones only vibrate and they always notice it and grab it (unless the script says they miss the call/text for plot reasons). Of course, the scene is always quiet at that moment, so you can hear the vibration effect and believe that the character does too. In real life, it doesn't often work that way.
