I was sat on the bus today, across the aisle from a very prim and proper-looking woman, perhaps starting to head towards late middle age. She was stylishly but not extravagantly dressed. She looked a mixture of approachable and no-nonsense; assertive, independent; possibly in a senior, powerful job.
These were my immediate assumptions, anyway, I've no way of knowing how accurate they might be.
What I certainly didn't expect was that, when I suddenly heard the opening riff to Paranoid by Black Sabbath, it would be the ringtone on her telephone.
I like being surprised like that.

Wonderful!
Could be her choice. Could be her offspring got her to do that. Or both, could be both.
nmj, yes, I thought so!
Zhoen, true enough - either way she appeared entirely comfortable with it.
Well if she was that kind of age Black Sabbath seems about right. And a bit classier than, say, The Frog Chorus which I look for on Youtube at this time of year. Wonder if it's on ringtone -
Yes, Signs, the age bracket was the main thing which made immediate sense. Far more refreshing to see someone like her (based on my assumptions) with that ringtone than some aging rocker in a battered leather jacket, as far as I'm concerned. Frog Chorus? I couldn't possibly comment...
