One time there was a real emergency and couldn’t reach my wife. So I activated find my iPhone on her phone. It will ring at full volume no matter what. Not to abuse but useful in times of emergency.

Imagine having your phone make noise. The horror.

Phone push notificaton: "police are advising people in your area of an active shoo..."

Me: "wow no thanks" puts on silent

[–] Selmafudd@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Brah mine every time.

She loses her phone like 15 times a day and asks if I can help find it, im like yeah I'll just ring it knowing full well she has the fucking thing on silent, and she replies with its on silent... Welp I tried to help looks like you're on your own with this one, good luck in your search, to which she replies something along the lines of go fuck yourself

Deploy boomer joke:

"Easy, I'm married"

I couldn't even tell you what my ringtone or sms alert sound is. I can't be sure the speakers in my phone have ever been used. I'll return your call/text on my time.

people like you are the reason we, as a society, spend so much time playing phone tag

"I love you babe, the plane is going down. I just wanted to hear your voice one more time"

Apple has a thing where you can set up people to break through silent mode if they call 3x in a row

[–] UntouchedWagons@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Android has a similar feature where favourite contacts will go through

[–] Alto@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Yep. Got mine set up for that and those that call twice in a row.

[–] flames5123@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Not silent, which is vibration only (if setup to be the default), just do not disturb, which even silences vibrations.

My fucking life with my wife and son. I honestly hope I get into a car accident with the steering column impaled in my chest so I can call them with my dying breaths to say I love them, only to have them not pick up because their ring is on mute. Then I'd come back as a total DICK of a ghost saying 'See? I told you to turn your ring volume up!'

The most frustrating thing to me is when I'm with her in person she always has her phone, when I try to call she's like [what the hell is this ringing thing]

[–] liquidapricity@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

This really hits home...

My notification sound is the "YEAH". I can't watch the movie scene anymore the yeah has become its own thing.

Do these links ever work for anyone?

[–] ultra@discuss.online 1 points 2 years ago

Piped is currently borked because youtube decided to be dumb

Are you me? Wtf.

[–] Nikki@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

i got my watch with this in mind, i fucking hate ringers and noise so i let my wrist buzz

then ignore it anyway because im a socially inept gremlin

:3

[–] Engywuck@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

That's a real thing, lol

[–] kayaven@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

This is the exact reason I set up my phone to go on ring mode at full blast whenever someone truly important calls me. I know they'd only call me whenever it's important (because I've told them beforehand that this happens, so they text if it's not important).

[–] Jeff@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

I’m glad it’s not just me lol.

[–] happyhippo@feddit.it 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why TF do they keep their phone on silent is beyond me.

Is this a worldwide wife plot, or what?

[–] Waraugh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

I keep mine on silent too. It’s fucking annoying how often people are trying to contact me or send me shit. I ended up on the phone for two hours this morning playing therapist for a coworker, time I’ll never get back.

Anyway, this shit is after two weeks:

I have my settings to discard everything after 30 days but it still gets ridiculous so every couple weeks I delete all texts and recent calls. That’s only the stuff I’ve ignored too. It blows my mind how much people are obsessed with their phones.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago

Mines on silent unless I'm asleep so work can call me if necessary. If I'm awake there's no reason not to be texting me instead. If I deem it necessary I'll call back but you better fucking tell me what it's about in the message and not just "Hey call me" or some other vague nonsense.

[–] Gorroth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yep, mine too… She also searches it like 20 times a day. I got her an Apple Watch -> Problem solved

But, to be honest, it took her a while to understand she likes it.
