This Ringtone
[audio://townsquare.media/site/87/files/2014/07/Ringtone.mp3|titles=Ringtone]It's my son's Snap Chat alert, so it goes off every 18 seconds at home. I also hear it at work, at the doctor's office, at baseball games, in the grocery store, and just about every other place on earth.
Attention Android users: Find another freakin' tone.

(After the meeting, be sure to send a 'Reply All' email.)

Researchers say Millennials are susceptible to stage fright when prompted to leave a message after the tone.
