Piratical

Well, that was embarrassing.

My cell phone was sitting on my desk, as I was expecting a call from M2. So there I was, coding HTML. Headphones on. t.A.T.u. turned up. All the way up.

Then the guy in front of me is suddenly pounding on my desk to get my attention and pointing at my phone. Seems I had neglected to turn on the "vibrate" feature, opting instead for the "play annoying ring tone very loudly" option.

My phone was ringing its clarion call to action very very loudly, and everyone in my office was looking at me and laughing. Because the song that was pouring out of my phone. The song.

Popeye. The Popeye song. I have no idea why the Popeye song is one of the default tunes available to my cell phone, but apparently it is. When I chose it, I had a) never planned on turning the phone off vibrate, which apparently turned out to be inaccurate, and b) decided that the ring tones of classical tunes were too much of an abomination to actually use.

And this phone is ringing. Two inches away from my left hand. Popeye. Full blast. And I don't even notice because my headphones were turned up too loud. And everyone was staring and laughing. And now they are calling me Popeye.
