A survey on “workplace cell phone ring tones” by Zhaopin.com in March, 2009, asked around 5,000 respondents what ring tones they found most annoying. While loud ring tones were hated most, “indecent” and “wacky” ring tones came second and sixth respectively.

2009年3月，智联招聘网站曾针对办公室中手机铃声的使用情况做了一项调查。大约有5000名网友参与该调查，回答了他们心中最难以忍受的铃声类型。结果显示，吵人的铃声让人最难以容忍，不雅铃声，搞怪铃声分列第二、六位。

Besides annoying colleagues, such habits might also make people question your maturity and professionalism, according to Cao Yong, a finance manager at China Petroleum Engineering & Construction Corporation.

中国石油工程建设公司的财务经理曹勇（音译）表示，这种铃声除了会打扰到同事，还会让人觉得你不够成熟和专业。

“A lack of awareness regarding office rules and workplace etiquette causes workplace freshmen to bring inappropriate habits to the workplace,” said Cao. “They often behave no differently at work to how they behaved in school.”He attributes such behavior to an inability to switch from a school to workplace mindset quickly enough.

曹勇说：“职场新人们若忽视办公室规定或疏于职场礼节，就会把不良习惯带到工作中。这些新人往往进入职场后表现得和在学校时一样。”他将这些举动归咎于，这些新人的思维无法适应从校园到职场的快速转型。
