Hi Mattie, I'm Fuzz, and after 8 hours "sleeping" on a bench with immovable armrests listening to your message every five minutes, I'd like to kill you.
Fun fact:
DFW airport is in neither the City of Dallas or Ft Worth.

" Located roughly halfway between the major cities of Dallas and Fort Worth, DFW spills across portions of Dallas and Tarrant counties and includes portions of the cities of Grapevine, Irving, Euless, and Coppell."

Ya, our taxi driver was saying how it is basically it's own city that leases out land to warehouses.

I know I can go into settings and disable emergency alerts and tones, but I decided against it. I'm assuming that's what you've done?
I think it depends on the phone, maybe the carrier too. I've definitely had them come in silent before.

Or maybe the alerts just don't function properly. More tests required!

We have a guy that works here who is just always wandering around singing and whistling. It's really quite strange. I mean a whistle here and there isn't unusual but to be walking around singing songs all day is a little annoying. He's also a terrible singer (and he wanders around a lot).

What type of music?

I suggest you and a few other join in and sing along, he might get the not so subtle hint.

Or they join in and end up being in as good a mood as he is.

May I make a song recommendation?

Thanks for the replies, yeah that's reasonable.

Similarly, the Las Vegas Strip isn’t in Las Vegas.

i guess this is a gear grinder.... just doing an order today that is 16 adidas jackets for a local soccer group

the pic below shows all the garbage plastic used in packing the 16 jackets.... but don't worry... note the tag on the outside of each jacket to make you feel like an environmental warrior! ha!

Yup, same here. I had my phone sitting on my desk face up so the screen lit up, but it didn't make a sound in Do Not Disturb mode.

I have an iPhone and it was on vibrate, and didn't make a sound.

I had my airpods in, listening to music on the phone, and the music would just go quiet, and then about a second later the alarm would go off and I’d have to acknowledge it. It wasn’t particularly jarring though.

Did the homeless guy smoking up next to you get an alert?

I actually repeated the alert sounds aloud so anyone without a phone wasn’t left out of the excitement.

People said I was so good that I should apply for the job of alert tone voice. Next time you hear that, it might be me!

"Password incorrect"

Fine, reset password

If that happens, you're really passwording wrong.
