I like to think that it is the most easily understood of the English accents. Maybe it because we speak more slowly... maybe it is because we enunciate and don't try to cram 15 syllables into 5... eh?

It's just plain <em>rude</em>. Fair call Sach, those people who sit at train stations and methodically cycle through each and every built-in ringtone on their phone really grind my gears! If people need to experiment with ringtones, they should do it on their own time, in the privacy of their own homes, so they are only annoying their family/housemates.

I turn off all sound effects (minus ring tones outside of the office) and listen to music while riding public transit. What I DO have a problem with is that inevitable loser who decides to CHANGE his or her ring tone while in a public situation... now that should demand some respect. In an age where it is nearly impossible to find a phone with decent manufacturer ringtones, please have some decency to avoid subjecting everyone to them.
