    One of my co-workers has this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaqJB4Wm_dk[^] as his message tone. The whole *&@^ing thing, and he gets lots of messages. Any creative solutions, that don't involve murder?

      The classic: Make him drunk, haul him on a ship and send him off on a voyage to the other side of the planet. Perhaps he even likes his new life as a sailor and does not come back.

        That wouldn't be murder. It's pest control.

            Both really good musicians. EDIT: Brad Paisley is a great guitar player (Album "Play") and Alison Kraus has some really good albums - check the one with her husband Robert Plant - great one! Won a Grammy for best Album. It could get worse, I remember this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqJVlS37J74[^]

                are those available for the daily commute train? I would want one. Not because of the ring tone, but after that comes mostly a very annoying conversation that one is forced to hear.

                  Depends: In the UK they are illegal, as are all radio frequency jamming devices. I would suspect the same in Germany as well.

                          Call him, leave ultra long voice mails, lots of them. It worked with my room mate who had a voice mail message that was over a minute long. Just make sure to sprinkle in enough important information that he can't delete the message without listening to it first.

                                I like to sit in the Quite Coach [1st class surely?] and will happily remonstrate with miscreants who converse with their fellow travellers [often in a load voice] or listen to exceptionally loud [and IMO tasteless] musak. My favourite is to ask, politely, if they have a problem with reading and if not then why are they ignoring the sign? I have, on occasion, been told that I shouldn't complain as I've got music on. I do not call Radio 4 music and they obviously can't hear it if they think it is.

                                  Blink 182 did a song based on George Carlin's words you can't say on TV thing (or whatever it was called) which is just repeated swear words. Many years ago I set that to the ring tone for me on a colleague's phone. Waited for him to go into a meeting with some of the company directors. Then phoned him up. It was the sort of company where not only you could get away with that sort of thing, but it was appreciated by those running the place.

                                  Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                                      I don't know, YouTube recently blocked at work, and they got up to 10 words in the song. It is called Family Reunion.

                                      Every man can tell how many goats or sheep he possesses, but not how many friends.

                                        I’m sorry for braking this down to you but the OP lives in 21 century Middle East not in the early 18 century England or France. :-D

                                          One of my co-workers has this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaqJB4Wm_dk[^] as his message tone. The whole *&@^ing thing, and he gets lots of messages. Any creative solutions, that don't involve murder?
