What time is your cut off to call someone on the phone?
For me I'd say 10:30pm is the very latest, usually won't call someone after 10pm.
Som guy I don't even know just called me and it's like 12:35pm :eek2:
He wanted to know when my next party is

Generally though I won't call after 10pm unless they are expecting me to call.
Have made calls at 4/5am before now. Went and collected my best friend who was proper stranded at 3am, despite starting work at 6am - it works both ways.
Mobiles, anytime. Im usually pissed if i ring someone late, and to be fair if people dont want waking up they should turn their phone on silent
If it was to a mobile then probably about 11/11.30 but i hate being woken when asleep so I tend not to call later than that.
It's a different story if I'm out on the piss though.
Them: "Hello?"
Me: "HEEEEEEEY!!!!"
Them: "ITS 3AM ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY!!!!"
Me: "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"
Etc.
So true!
My phone is on 24'7. It is almost always on silent though. As I go bed at a different time every night, its a bit hard to say what the cut off point is. Generally, if I'm awake, I'll answer.
That's just after mid-day, so that would be fine
I wouldn't normally call anyone after 10.
I put it on silent, then the dog woke me up barking and I had 2 texts and 3 missed calls from an apparently drunk boyfriend.
I need to start going out, having a life and making these calls back to them..... :crying:
Shogun has rang me at 4 and 5 in the mornings sometimes waking up my ma and all.
Disagree.
Why should I put my phone on silent and risk being woken for an important call because some arsehole got drunk and couldn't control the urge to piss me off?
How do you know this person was pissing her off? I can almost bet it was someone drunk looking to have a bit of craic, I know I get urges to phone people at all hours to have a chat.
I would also not phone anyone before about 8.30am for the same reason.
it depends who i'm ringing..generally friends and family not after 10pm.
It is for this reason alone that my phone is NEVER switched off. That and, i honestly dont mind if someone calls me at x am [or pm] wanting to talk, my door is always open and so forth
Mobile - anytime but it depends on the person and the reason im calling.
My phone like a lot of others is on pretty much 24/7 i only ever turn it off if ive got a really low battery and i'm likely to need my phone later on.
People waking me up in the early hours doesnt bother me in the slightest tbh, i quite like that people are thinking of me enough to call at that time
I tend to (mildly) resent people calling before 8am or after 10
I am rude to people who call after 1am or before 6am
other than work what would anyone need to ring you about then, most people should be asleep or only just got up
