Raise your hand if you still keep your ringer on ✋🏼

@georgetakei My ringtone is the Doctor Who theme. It's attention-getting. And I just now realized it makes me think, "Who's calling?" This afternoon it was my doctor.

@georgetakei If I want my phone silent, I turn it OFF.

@georgetakei I'm a binge ringer user. I'll leave my sounds on for a few months but should a time come where I'm forced to silence my phone, it stays on silent until the next time I need to use.

@georgetakei I feel like the sound of a phone vibrating is awful and I am the kind of person who cares enough about my friends to give a quick response. So, I gotta have the ringer on.

@georgetakei Active ringing is on, but it goes on silent when I don't want to be disturbed by it.
If it's always on silent, why do you have a mobile?
Or any home phone in that case? Just for emergency calls?

@georgetakei only when i know my doctor is calling with important results or other moments I expect calls of the life and death category, the rest of the time, vibrate only

I’d raise more hands if I had them.

@georgetakei Mine has been silent for years, but every once in a while it decides to make itself heard. Mainly just startles me when that happens.

@georgetakei "Sorry, you didn't schedule an appointment for a phone call, so I'm not going to answer personally. Please leave (a message)."

@georgetakei Nope, the switch on the side of my phone is permanently stuck in the “mute” position.

@georgetakei I wont raise my hand, but I can show you a bucket of smashed phones (old ones, not smart ones, I cant afford to smash smart phones)

@georgetakei Apparently, that and the use of capital letters and punctuation qualifies us as "Boomers". As a GenXer I'm SUPER offended! 🤣
