2-minute Silence
Was at an Oldham Athletic match about 5 years ago, watching my brother play. At the beginning of the game there was a 2 minute silence for a police officer that had been killed or injured or something.
Of all the places you think to put your 'phone on silent, a football match is not one.
As a consequence the section of the crowd that I was in were treated to the Nokia version of Fuga for pretty much the entire 2 minutes because my then girlfriend wasn't one to take the hint and hang up after about 8 rings.
I stood there trying to discretely punch myself in the chest to try to silence the beast without having to concede and be seen to be the guy whose phone was ringing at an inappropriate time. But would it stop? No chance.
It's apparently only possible to accidentally answer a phone when you are talking disparagingly about someone. And in those instances, only to that exact person.
