     I'm afraid it's gonna be hard. Some people even have vibrate mode [on their pagers] but they won't use it, deliberately letting it beep like the devil.

     冇所謂，不過應該用震機，否則上堂BB聲，好冇禮貌0架！ [Cantonese, trad.]

     It doesn't matter, but they should use vibrate mode. Otherwise, if it beeps in class, it would be quite rude!

     某個ex好奇怪，經常打畀佢都唔聽，佢每次會話唔小心瞓着咗，ok fine，後來無數次都係咁，好奇怪，返工鬧鐘又聽到，點解一個電話響幾廿次都可以聽唔到？佢嘅解釋就係校咗震機，咁我叫佢咪鬼校震機，結果都係call到火都嚟都唔會聽。 [Cantonese, trad.]

     There was this ex who was really strange. Oftentimes when I called her, she wouldn't pick up. Every time, she would say she accidentally fell asleep, ok fine. Later, it was like this countless times. It's strange that she could hear her alarm for going to work. Why couldn't she hear her phone ringing dozens of time? Her explanation was she put her phone on vibrate, so I told her to fricking not put it on vibrate. In the end, I would call her until I was fuming in rage, and she would still not pick up.
