Problem:Â Constantly feeling a vague anxiety that you’ll forget to silence your phone and then it’ll inevitably go off at the most inconvenient of times (causing you to attract some uncomfortable stares and very bothered-sounding sighs in the process).
Solution:Â Choosing a pleasant ring tone which minimizes the consequences of any such forgetfulness. If you choose wisely, people may not even realize that a phone is going off; they’ll simply wonder where such pretty music has suddenly come from. My phone now rings to the sound of a classical Spanish guitar piece called “Mi Favorita.” Crisis effectively (and melodically) averted.
