'Nam flashbacks from work
This would happen to me if someone played the guitar chord used as a notification sound in aMSN (a TCL/tk msn client) circa 2006.
Actually it would also happen if they used the original msn message sound…
Bu-dong-dong!
nudge
hah! I stopped using MSN and started using aMSN before they introduced nudges. I do recognise the sound but it’s not quite as visceral as the original message noise!
The Teams ring tone was one of the “horns” in Forza Horizon. I would use it during races and watch as people suddenly stopped and went into their pause menu. Ultimate psychological warfare.
Listens to a song
Artist randomly uses the fucking ringtone of my alarm
Dies
The first time I heard Rock the Casbah by The Clash, it was in the time of Nokia phones, and there is a part in the background of that song that I swear sounds like a Nokia ringtone.
I honestly have no idea how they even made the sound as the song came out decades before cellphone ringtones were a thing.
It was a digital wristwatch:
The version of the song on Combat Rock, as well as many other Clash compilations, features an electronic sound effect beginning at the 1:52 minute point of the song. This noise is a monophonic version of the song “Dixie”. The sound effect source was generated by the alarm from a digital wristwatch that Mick Jones owned.
I never just get called on teams, they always ask “are you available for a quick call?” first.
I have to manage my team for a few hours every night in-between supervisors duty cycles, we were getting slammed with issues one night and one junior coworker messaged me about something serious.
Without thinking I called her on teams without asking first, when she answered I heard a baby crying, once I found out it was my call that woke him up since he would only sleep in her lap I felt like crap. I ended up taking over the issue from her out of guilt and have never called anyone without asking again.
Where I work people just call if you show as available. Imo this should warrant extra hazard pay.
No one in my office does that but this new VP they hired is “trying to change the culture” I want to die
There’s one guy at work who refuses to warn people. Like hell, no. You can wait while I try to find my headset.
I had one guy that would always no warn call me, and I would immediately decline it and ping him “what did you need?”
Deep cut: the whistle from Meccha Chameleon
I changed mine from the default to ‘bubble’.
I heard the ringtone from the soft phone we used on a radio listener call in and fucking PANICKED
Wait what? You have a phone that you use specifically (and only) to call into radio shows??
