My husband has this special ring tone for me on his phone. He didn't pick it - my oldest son, in a fit of sarcasm and desire to be a real smart aleck, set it up. It begins like a tornado siren, quickly moves to a blaring horn, and a deep voice shouts,
Warning! Warning! It's the WIFE! It's the WIFE!
It's so not funny to me, but he keeps it because THEY both think it's funny - and if I happen to call when a customer is in his office -
well, it's a real icebreaker, I'll give you that.
"Aren't these milkshakes the best?" he said. We smiled and nodded. He continued, "What is your favorite? I really like the strawberry. The chocolate is delicious as well." He looked at me and said, "I'll bet you like the chocolate. You look like a chocolate milkshake kinda gal."
Now. I've been around the block and I know flirting when I see it, but I just let it go.
Just then, I heard a familiar tone. It began as a tornado siren, quickly blossomed into a blaring horn, and as he scrambled madly for his phone, beet red faced, I heard the dreaded words I know good and well he didn't want me to hear -
Warning! Warning! It's the WIFE! It's THE WIFE!!!
I am SO buying my husband that ring tone and loading it without his knowledge, right before he goes out for beers with the boys. Mwahahahahaha ... Now, if you could only change your husband's to say "Warning! Warning! It's the WIFE! And her name is CARMEN!"

LOL! I used to have the one for my husband calling me. If you have an android phone just download the Zedge app. It's free and on there.

Hahaha. I had to laugh because that use to be my husbands ringtone for me. He didn't pick it someone else set it up for him. It stayed around for about a year. He has changed it now.

Yep my hubby also had that. Now he has my voice recorded saying..."Hey it's me, ya know your wife...pick up the phone!"
All his friends give him crap about it. He says he likes to hear me even if I am sounding a bit B***hy.

LOL!! In the words of my husband "You can't make that shit up!" That is hilarious!!
And yes, I am going to find that ringtone for my man - right now!! :)

Hilarious! I just asked my husband to put it on his phone so he actually hears the tone when I call. I have the comparable one on my phone that screams "It's your husband calling - what does he want, what does he WANT?"

My husband has the SAME exact ring tone for me!!!! He also took a picture of my face yelling at one of my kids and it accompanies the ring tone:)
Posted by: Jennifer | July 27, 2011 at 09:22 AM
Oh. That is just awesome. LOL
Posted by: Jen | July 27, 2011 at 10:07 AM
Warning! Warning! It's the WIFE! It's THE WIFE!!! What a funny ringtone :)

funny! and kudos to you for being flirt-worthy!
Posted by: Lisa | July 27, 2011 at 02:05 PM
That's hysterical! My husband's phone starts playing "Brick House" when I call - and everyone (except me) thinks it's soooo funny. When he calls my daughter's phone, he recorded it saying "Natalie! Stop Talking To Those Boys! I't Your Dad Calling!!!" Boys and their toys.

That ringtone is hilarious. Wonder if there's one for a kids phone from a mother....... *g*

My husband has this on his phone - thinks he's the funniest thing going! Although he has had it ring when with a customer as well :)

Gotta love the timing of that one! The wife must have "radar" for when her husband is flirting with another woman... :D
