The World's Most Annoying Ringtone

Story Sent in by Trisha:

It was pretty quick and easy to tell that a relationship with Dave wasn't going to go past date one. When he sneezed at the restaurant table, he didn't cover his nose. At all.

The first time he did it I hoped that my look of disgust would be enough to stop it from happening a second time. The second time it happened, I asked him point blank to cover his nose the next time.

"Why?" he asked with a wry grin.

"Because it's gross," I told him. He didn't say anything to that, and the conversation died on the spot.

About a minute later, he reached at me across the table and screeched, "Cover your nose!" in what I guessed was a mockery of the way I had said it to him. It made me jump, but it also made me decide that another minute with that loser would be one minute too many. I left him sitting there.

He called me almost right after I had left. I didn't answer the phone, but when I listened to his voicemail, it was him screeching "Cover your nose!" over and over and over again. Probably over a hundred times, I'd guess. I don't know. I only listened to about 10 seconds of it.

I played it for my roommates, though, and they begged me to let them record it for use as a ringtone. I let them, and so there was a period of several months during which "Cover your nose! Cover your nose!" was heard rather often in our apartment.

  2. Nice change of pace from yesterday's story. At least all the OP's friends got a good laugh from that nonsense! Happy Thanksgiving!

  3. Well, I guess it's still better than the Chunky Horse Orgasm ringtone I use...
