I don't use a phone enough to even bother carrying one around.
I still just keep a dime in my pocket in case I really really need to call someone.

My cellphone has the default ringer. I rarely have the volume on so it's pointless to change it.

Another way to tell if someone is a boomer or generation X is if they are able to change a flat tire on their vehicle.

I'm sure that waiting in line at the grocery store behind someone who needs to use 87 coupons (half of which are expired) and then write a check, hasn't started filling out the check, and doesn't have his glasses anyway, is a pretty good indicator.

I'm 55 and have not tucked my shirt anywhere in 4+ years. Gotta have that shirt tucked to to look "nice"  I saw the comment on this forum that a untucked shirt looks like a "worthless plebe" - I still smile whenever I think some guy (that is slave to shirt tucking) may see me with my sloven untucked shirt and he thinks "worthless plebe".

Quote HistoryQuoted: I pick the loudest I can fnd which for me is the traditional phone and turn it all the way up. Welcome to a loud working environment. In the vein of the OPs thread. "It's easy to spot who has soft hands because their ring tone sounds like a moan from penetration and they keep it turned down". This for the win. I work in a loud environment with ear plugs. I need something with a LOUD odd frequency that sticks out from all the rumblings of the big equipment I work on..... Definitely not a boomer and do not wear a phone on my hip. Then again I really don't give a shit what op or anyone else thinks. I do what suits me and if you don't like it piss off. |

One of my coworkers is super Nana boomer. She holds her phone in one hand, touches the screen/types with the index finger on her other.
She takes pictures of her laptop screen with her phone and then tries to show what's on her phone screen over her webcam via MS Teams. She tries to take pictures of everything she things is funny, but by the time she manages to get out her phone it's over. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm a Boomer, and I don't use default ringtones. I use music clips, with a few special ones for certain family members. My default is When You're Gone - Avril Lavigne, my daughter is Crazy Train - Ozzy, and my son is Under My Wheels - Alice Cooper. There's more, but those are the main ones. Welcome fellow unrepentant rocker. Guitar riff ring tones are best ring tones.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: I used to use Cubase to edit songs for custom ringtones for everything, had software that would load them on the phone. Now IDGAF. I don’t pay attention to the tones (probably all on default) because my phone is always on silent. That’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. I’m up to 12Pro now. I haven’t done any multitrack recording since 5 or 6. I keep upgrading because it’s way cheaper than buying the new suite. I was a Logic Audio guy, but friends had Cubase and Fruity Loops. I haven’t done any multitrack recording since Logic Audio 6 I think. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah well your generation as a whole was not as successful at that as you might like to think. I'm not sure who that is worse for though. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: The proudest accomplishment of the current generation is their mastery of the ring tone.  Mine invented the Internet, space travel, and the McRib sandwich. I’m a millennial, and I love it when my Zoomer kids try to give me a hard time about pop culture. I just remind them that I’m the one who taught them to use a spoon, wipe their ass, and not shit their pants. Yeah well your generation as a whole was not as successful at that as you might like to think. I'm not sure who that is worse for though. Meh, other people’s kids… |
