For people who don’t know you (and even most that do), your ringtones are just another way for you to be instantly judged. However, if you’re running a business, the judgment drastically amplifies from just thinking you’re another idiot who forgot to put their phone on vibrate to actually making dangerous assumptions about how you do your job.
