Loud And Annoying Ringtones
Earlier today, I was at the computer library working on my final term project. I was in deep concerntration when I heard this loud obnoxious ringtone go off. Almost everyone who was there turned to see which idiot had such an idiotic ringtone. It wasn't even a nice one.... I mean the ringtone had the sound of a chicken quacking!!! (I'm serious!) I was first puzzled by the noise, but then I got pissed because it had distracted me from my work and the ringtone was going off for sometime.
This is not the first time I've encountered such a thing. Lately I've been annoyed by other sorts of ringtones - I just don't see why people must have a fancy ringtone in the first place! And these days most cellphones come with MP3 format ringtones, thus making it more clearer, louder, distracting and yes making it more...ANNOYING! Why can't people just have simple ringtones, or at least if you're in the library, set your cellphone into vibrating mode. (That's what I do most of the time anyway).
On top of that, to increase your blood pressure level and make you more annoyed, the owners of the phone will take their own jolly sweet time to answer the phone. For example when the phone starts ringing, it'll take them 10 seconds to stop what their currently doing, and then another 5-10 seconds to actually look at the phone and check the caller ID, and then finally answer the phone! And the worse part is some of them will answer hello with a LOUD voice!
What the ***k is that all about? Where's the courtesy manner to quickly answer the phone or if your phone is ringing, to quickly run to a less quiet area and start talking (we have a perfectly good cafeteria in our library to serve to the needs of those who want to chit-chat)
Anyway enough of my rant - i'm just glad i'm done with my project now...with the expense of me missing church though :(...sigh have to go tomorrow at 7.30 then!

It happens there too?
I thought malaysians were the only idiots that did that.
udangstar : it happens everywhere man... it doesnt matter if you're a malaysian or any other nationality, what matters is whether you have civic sense... thanks for the comment btw!
oh that pisses me off when people's phones go off in class, or the library or anywhere you're trying to work/study... especially when it rings again every time they finish a call, you'd think they'd just put it on vibrate but oh no! it has to be not only on, but on the loudest possible setting even when they're in the quietest places like the library... then they answer the phone "hello hello hello hello hello hello hello..." for about five minutes before actually having a "conversation", if you can even call it that because it usually consists of very loud monosyllables
