I hate cell phones; in fact, I only crack mine out on out-of-town trips, otherwise its sits in a drawer with a dead battery for months on end, a hidden reminder that I’m wasting $50 a month so that I can call home the four or five times a year I leave the state. (Pet peeve: Phone calls telling me the caller is on her way home; why don’t you just wait five minutes and tell me when you walk in the door, honey?). Anyway, that’s why my ringtone OK Go’s “Here we go again,” a refrain sang with giddy exasperation, as in “Jesus, here we (fucking) go again.” Unfortunately, “I hate the goddamn phone so please just send me an email, already” is not available in a sing-songy ringtone.
So, that’s my story; what’s yours? What is your cell-phone ring-tone and why?

My ring tone is the old-fashioned phone ring. That tells you I'm old school, in a "Don't bother me with all that new-fangled technical stuff; you don't actually think I'm going to figure out how to download something like a ring tone to my cell phone do you? Hell, you're lucky if I have the damn thing on. AND, You kids stop hiding my cassette tapes!"
Oh, and my stepfather, has the same ring tone, which makes me feel extra old. At least I can console myself with the thought that I showed him how to change his ring tone to that--I was hip enough to know that much.
