I'm okay with appliance making cute little dings or buzzes but if they chime out a full song it creeps me right out. I'm gonna get the clothes out of the wash you don't have to scream "Mary had a Little Lamb" at me.

They're still there.

My mom gets a scam page on her browser like once a week. It jams full screen and she cant remember F10 or winkey to get it to where she can kill it (#retirees). So it'll play "you have a virus. Call the number on the screen" through her internal speaker and USB headphones looping the same minute-long speech for days until she calls me to fix it.

I can only imagine.
