One time when my brother’s family was visiting, I heard my phone ring. Turned out it was my sister-in-law having the same ring tone on her phone. So I switched the ring tone on mine.
I have 2 basic ring-tones. The opening licks to “Sweet Home Alabama” for people in my contacts list, and the chorus of “Leave Me Alone” for all unknown callers.
This is like finding an extra dish when washing up after dinner – who had that plate? Or… finding an extra set of shoes waiting by the door. Or… a couple discovered a thief in their home after a man told a joke and heard a laugh upstairs.
Reminds me of that one time I had to go south of the border to a work course, totally forgot my ring tone was “The Gael”, I was not popular when in the middle of a classroom of Englishman when…..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BR-csWS1bcM&list=LLvop_EcuicwlOhjDUBaKebw&index=28&t=0s
Very few people have my cell number, and they each have a special ring-tone. For instance, my husband is “Vehicle” by Ides of March, and my boss is “Boy From New York City” by Manhattan Transfer. My daughters are “Out Of the Woods” by Taylor Swift, and “Hey Bulldog” by the Beatles.
My wife got me a cellphone when we started dating because she was concerned about my making the 90 minute drive to her place without one. Hard to change after 58 years, but I did. The only time I answer an unknown number is when I’m expecting a plumber or other craft person to call.
A friend told me about this happening at his work last week. A cell phone was ringing and no one could find out where it was coming from. He guesses a costumer left one some where in the building. I will have to email him the link to this strip.
At least it’s nothing like the strip where Jon told Garfield that he got stuck in a crowded elevator and that everyone made him eat his cell phone, while Garfield tells him that “some folks just don’t like polka ringtones”. In that case, I guess “some” is an understatement.
Why do strips like this always bring out all the retrograde morons who, despite commenting online, don’t seem to have got past the 1970s mentally? Personally I’m just trying desperately to resist a World Wide WEB joke… Oops.

If that spider’s phone was still ringing, Garfield would have found him and swatted him.
