A Doctor Pepper moment

**Alan1** · 24-05-2010, 03:48 PM

I was at a funeral today and in the church when a prayer was in full flow a woman in the row in front of me - her phone started going off. She tried to muffle it but you could hear it no bother. Her face was ferrari red and when it stopped she took it out her bag to switch it off and it went off again as she was getting it out, blaring loud it was and she was in such a fluster she couldn't switch it off and handed it to a person next to her who eventually got it silenced

Everyone was looking straight down at the floor and I was struggling not to laugh

Oh no. How embarassing. I hope the family weren't too annoyed!

**Alan1** · 24-05-2010, 05:29 PM

No they wouldn't be I don't think. She was indirectly related anyway and it was my uncle and he'd have thought it funny too

i went to a funeral a few weeks ago, we where sat there having a few quiet moments to reflect on our times spent with the deceased (i didnt know her!) and my BF's phone started going off palying the nightmare on elm street freddy's song, 1, 2, freddy's coming for u, 3, 4, better lock your door........ it was really freaky cos his phone was actually on slient which we had double checked b4 we went in!!!!

I hope when I go people don't take my funeral too seriously, I like a laugh and I'd love to think that people were having one last giggle with me.

My dad who is terminally ill wants 'This Old Man' played at his funeral...you know...'this old man, he played one, he played nick knack 'etc. My Mum think it's inappropriate but I think it'll put a smile on people's faces...and if that's what he wants then why not.

I have heard you can get some phones that switch themselves ON when they have been turned off.
The only way to deal with this is to take the battery out
