Let’s hear those embarrassing ring tone moments or when your phone has gone off at a very bad time...
I remember prob early 90s I had a van with one of the first mobile phones, a Motorola, huge battery pack, supposedly transportable? I needed to get the clutch sorted on it so asked my Dad where to take it too as he was the man who knew all.. when I rang I got my Mum, she said I will ask him later when he gets in and call you back.. days went by and nothing.. so, I thought sod this it’s playing up I will take it the garage a mile or two away from ours.. he agreed almost straight away to put it on the hoist and have a quick look at the issue.. the Owner mechanic and I were under the hoist looking for the issue when my mobile rang.. it was hooked up to the dash via the loud speaker at the time eg hands free! The phone 8feet in the air rang out and went to answer phone, it was my Mum.. Mum a Cockney nener held back on her words etc.. so under the hoisted the pair of us heard.. “ hello my little boy! I’ve spoken to Dad as to where to take your van and he said basically anywhere, just as long as you don’t take it to the prick near yours, that Thomas bloke, ( where I was with the very guy) your Dad said he would fleece his own For an extra quid that one.. he’s a complete wanker and waste of space, don’t go anywhere near him.., hope that helps, bye babes” It was kinda difficult to know what to say after that... Oh Thanks Mum, for that...
During an idle and boring moment at work I decided to change the ring tone of my bosses number on my phone to a voice saying ''A tosser is calling your mobile device'' and then forgot about it...about a month later he was stood next to me and said 'I tried to call you earlier and got no answer' I took my my phone out and their was no missed call,so told him so....He whips his phone out and calls my number and.....you guessed it....a loud voice coming repeatedly from my phone saying ''A tosser is calling your mobile device'' He looks at me , I'm looking back, trying to maintain my look of cool and calm. After about the fourth rendition of '' a tosser'' I quietly said..No......seems to be working fine.. He stormed off and didn't speak to me for two weeks....
We kinda had one at work one day.. 300 guys sitting down in the mess room ( it’s what dockers do) we were winded off 60mph winds couldn’t work too dangerous.. We had been sitting in there all day and getting towards the end of our shift so everyone was truly bored! The company in its wisdom likes to keep us there even though theres no chance of any work.. So, 2 hours from the end of shift one of our lads snuck downstairs and called the landline phone in our mess room, one of the lads picked it up and the called said “ ok lads this weather is set to stay so go, on get yourselves away” As you can imagine 350 guys stampeded out of the mess room like wilderbeast chased by a pack of lions.. Apparently the sudden clocking out of so many ( bleep bleep bleep x 300 ish ) alerted the management and they managed to grab or retain 20 or so as they exited towards the car park.. The guy who made the phone call only just hung onto his job as the idiot had NOT withheld his number.. management traced the call, opps! X
Midway through giving Mrs C a jolly good and no doubt vocal rogering, she accidentally and unbeknown to us managed to press redial on her phone... Her Mother was not impressed!
Told this before so excuse a repeat.. Her indoors sent a text without putting her reading glasses on to our Son who was trying to impress his new girlfriend by cooking her roast duck for a romantic dinner date.. The Mrs wanted to wish The new Girlfriend Lucy well so she and spellcheck sent a text saying... “Lucy, I do hope you enjoy our Stefan’s DICK” She obv did as they are still together 3 years on... x
