It can ring and give notifications, as long as they aren't set to something obnoxious.

It becomes obnoxious no matter what it is when they're having a text conversation with someone and it's going off constantly

I'm pretty old but do you know the Woody Woodpecker laugh? I used to work with a girl back before smartphones that had that as her text notification. It was the whole thing which takes like five seconds so sometimes it was just that fucking sound almost non-stop. Here it is, cursed fucking creation.

That sounds like something they would do to prisoners in Guantanamo.

I can't imagine the ptsd you have

Well they should silence it at that point because obviously they're paying enough attention to it and expecting responses, so they should be waiting for the vibrate if not looking at it directly.

But people don't need to have their phone silenced at all times while in public, they just need to be attentive enough to answer and silence it. I frequently don't even feel the vibration.

For me, if I’m actually having a conversation in public, I’ll silence my phone.

Right, but they were suggesting it should be silenced at all times, by default, even for the very first notification.

Put your phone on vibrate, you'll survive.

In the before time, the long long ago, people didn't have a portable social media machine

It's probably obnoxious in real life but I really wanna do the ZZ Top ringtone from Bad Monkey
