ringxiety

I just stumbled on this: ringxiety. Rather interesting, some people get so addicted to their mobile phone they hear phantom ringtones.

Now, being a professional call taker myself, I can tell you: never happened to me :) What does happen to me regularly though, is the failure to hear a ringtone - depending a bit on who's calling. Anybody a nice word to describe this?

The "ringxiety" story probably signifies the start of what we call in Dutch the "komkommertijd"; the very calm, uninspired period for journalists in summer. Anything goes to fill the papers then...

Anyway, this probably happens mostly to people already suffering from a Blackberry thumb.

Rubbish.
