I do don’t want to be “that” coworker. My desk mate’s ringtone is the same as my recently passed mother. It’s a nightmare for me. I haven’t said anything or shown any emotion about it. Is it appropriate to ask her if she could change it? I’m willing to pay for a special song if she wanted? I’m not quite a boomer and I don’t want to look like an idiot. Social norms are changing and I don’t want to step in it. Suck it up? Get her the favorite muffin and ask?
