What pisses you off?

[JacJacJacqui]

Getting phone calls or text messages while I'm in asleep. I don't care what day it is, it's downright ignorant and rude to contact me between 11pm and 9am. Christ - anyone who knows me would know that waking me up between those hours is punishable with death. What especially pisses me off is that this person only contacts me at 3-4am on weekdays when he's on the piss (something else I don't appreciate AT ALL) but meanwhile he's hard to get onto at any other time. But what can I do? I can't turn my phone off because the alarm is set for me to get up for work and how am I meant to answer a ligitimate phonecall at 3 in the morning (legitimate being that someone close to me is in grave danger)? Then I wake up in the worst mood because some stupid drunk kept me up. GRRR.. Next time I should just answer and go off my head at him.

Here's a tip. Turn your mobile off before you go to bed. If you use it for an alarm, spend $10 and buy an alarm clock.

Here's a tip. Read ALL of my post. I highlighted the relevant bits. I refuse to turn my phone off in case of emergency which is what it is intended for.

What the hell can you do for someone at 3am anyway?

If they're in "grave danger" they should be calling the cops, not you.

If someone's been killed in an accident, they'll still be dead at 7am when you wake up and turn on your phone.

Like I said, buy an alarm clock, turn the frigging mobile off and you'll find out what happened overnight when you wake up in the morning

Gee, what did people do before mobile phones?

They wouldn't have got me on sat morning to rush to the airport to work for the day.

Though coding the overtime today will be a nice chrissy present next pay day. That will go to my holiday fund for Bali next year. YAY. Only 5 and a bit months to go!!

tough love, but true.

i'd tell this person to stop calling ... amongst other words of sage advice.

haha! harsh, funny .. and true

if theres one serial offender jac why not just block his number during late hours... or make a group for him and give him a silent ringtone or something

I was discussing this very thing with my mum this morning. She was wondering how people could survive without them. My reply was that 10 years ago, everyone did quite easily.

My family's always been behind in technology, too. I don't think my dad got his first phone until about 5 or 6 years ago, and I didn't buy my first one until I was 16.

[Kingswood]

yeh ive always wondered that because honestly, i cant remember..

how did we used to find out things before google??

[David]

haha... or wikipedia...

i remember quite vividly when my old man brought home this brick of a thing, the first kind of mobile phone back in the 80s. he worked for the us govt and had to be on call for the white house.

[Mr Smith Goes To C'Wood]

Yes and it was a decent size brick too! The world book encylopaedia was my source of reference during formative years, and how i thought it such a wonder... being right there in your own home.

lol, to this day the 1975 World Book remains the most up-to-date hard copy encyclopedia in this house... which is a little sad, really - the world has changed a little in 33 years, after all... I grew up thinking that the world was flat, the sun revolved around the Earth, and this bloke called Gerald Ford was president of the US.

I bought my very first "brick of a thing" for $800. I'd won $1000 on MMM for "what's my line" when they were broadcasting live from the showgrounds one year. I spent the 800 on a brick mobile phone. I should have kept it just to look back on it. lol

Have you got a home phone?? I have to agree with Stui on this one. If it's on during the night and someone calls you on it, you should be pissed at yourself, leaving it on is asking for it. If there's a real emergency, "bad news travels fast" - I'm sure you'd find out about it. Get a landline and they can call on that if need be.
