I've heard phones that, instead of a ring, have a loud voice saying something like, "you have a call. you have a call." I honestly do not understand why one would have that setting; it is always obnoxious.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Mine warbles at me in a different tone than a regular ring if I have messages.
When it's ringing for the next call, or does it burp intermittently until it gets your attention?
Well, see, I turn it off at home, and turn it on whenever I go out. It warbles when I turn it on if there are messages. And I've had it on and it never rang, but I'd get a warble and there would be a message. I think my voice mail is capricious or something, because sometimes I get random voice messages way late.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I was at the bar a couple weeks back and somebody's ringtone was a voice screaming "Pick up the phone!" Very startling the first time it went off. After that it was just obnoxious. Neither being the reaction I'd want caused by something I carried on my person regularly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I should have one that loudly yells my name. With increasing irritation. And then, as I answered, it could go "Okay, good."
The caf sushi wasn't bad. Wasn't that good, but was better than the TJ sushi-in-a-box. Way too expensive for caf food, though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Hi, Gud! Do you have a CS degree?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Mine has Edna from The Incredibles saying, "Someone is calling for you, darling." I love it.

My cell phone is set on a pretty low volume and it only rings once. After a snafoo at a wake when I had a "dizzy" ringtone that got increasingly loud, I vowed to never have anything more than this. My current phone, big ole Nokia 5165, doesn't vibrate or I'd have that set most of the time.
Despite getting to work pretty late today, I am leaving early in order to get to a retirement party.

I've run afoul of car alarms that had a voice warning. Sorry, but your car does not get to tell me I'm standing to close to it and must go away—I don't take orders from inanimate objects.
