Ringtones

Know what bothers me about cell phone ringtones these days?

I find most ringtones annoying, but the worst are the snippets of classical music people use like Fuhr Elise and Beethoven's Ninth. If they're trying to impress people with their use of classical music as their ringtone, they're not. The last place I want to hear these beloved classics rendered is from a tinny electronic handheld device.

The same goes for doorbells and car horns. Unless it's an orchestra, I don't want to hear Classical coming out of it.
