The elevator in B36 had a chime that sounded a lot like the first two "dings"* of the TTC chime. I'd worked there for at least a year before I stopped catching myself waiting for the third "ding".** So annoying.
*Different notes, same interval.
**I think there's a fancy scientific term for this. But I'm too dumb for Google today. (I continue to blame the Scotch.)
We were on a conference call with-- aw, someone in Europe, and somehow the other end of the line was giving the occasional pair of beeps. Very distinctive beeps.
After the call was done, I looked around and said "Anyone else think that sounded like Tainted Love?" Chorus of agreements.
