Violinist's revenge on ringtone rudeness
A violinist got his own back in stunning style after a member of his audience forgot to switch off his mobile phone.
Slovakian violinist Lukas Kmit was giving a solo rendition at a Jewish orthodox synagogue when a phone started rining.
Just as Mr Kmit had reached the quietest moment of his performance, it was interrupted by the Nokia ringtone.
The violinist paused for a second, smiled and then continued his performance with an improvised version of the jingle.
His response was met with chuckles from the audience who burst into a round of applause when he finishes his imitation.
Video of the episode has taken the internet by storm, attracting more than a million hits on YouTube.

I hardly call that "Getting his own back". Now, if he had grabbed the phone and smashed it, as I would have, that would be much more apt.

If I was him i'd be pretty p*ssed off. He took it very well and good on him for carrying on! His head shake at the end just captured the ''some people - i can't beleive that'' thought that was on his mind!

I know that feeling. I must remember to do something similar next time.
