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

How sensitive of you. Wouldn't it be great if you're loved one was in a fatal car accident and at 7am you get a phone call to say that they died at 6:45? Would you be really happy that you didn't get to say goodbye? Idiot. Use your brain.

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.
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.

No. I don't need a landline. I have a mobile. I don't see the point in having everything. We consume enough on this earth as it is. How is leaving your phone on at 3am on a weeknight asking for it? Hey, late night caller, how about using your alcohol infused shrunken peanut and some effing common sense and just don't call people at that time? I shouldn't have to cut myself off from the outside world because of some idiot. I think 'asking for it' is calling someone at 3am on a weeknight. And they wonder why people kill people. Lack of sleep and contant irritation.

I'm a sensitive kind of guy.

You could still say goodbye, they'd have as much chance hearing you.

I've heard people use this excuse before about why they need to leave their mobile on overnight. To me it's saying more about the person's need to feel important that someone might want to call them than it does about any legitimate emergency .

If you actually have a family member or friend with an illness so you may be getting that 3am call to go to the hospital, fair enough.

If you don't then stay inside cos there's as much chance of someone being in an accident as there is of you being in one.

I'll tell you what pisses me off. Being on a train that has stopped between stations because some stupid woman has decided that train tracks will get her to her destination quicker than a footpath. Really - All I wanted to do was get home after a long day and I had to deal with her drug f*&$@ed antics. Arrrggghhh!!! OK, I've vented now.

Ummmm, if it was a fatal car accident, you wouldn't have been able to say goodbye anyway

OMG.

It's fatal if it kills them at 6.45 and I find out at 7, isn't it? Sorry I wrote it in HS journo speak.

And I have family in hospital so I guess that settles it. I can't believe people are trying to argue that mobile phones should not be used for emergencies. Now it's official - it's not what I say, it's just that I say something and therefore it must be disagreed with. Now I can ignore all the disagreement because I know that they're only disagreements for disagreements sake.

Post by **stui magpie** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 6:20 pm

WFIW, I'm not disagreeing for it's own sake and I'm not saying you can't use mobiles for emergencies.

If you have family in hospital and it's proable/likely that ypu may get a 3am call, then fair enough - stay contactable.

if you don't then the odds are high that you'll never get that call and you probably have the simple addiction that many young people have.

To test if you have, could you turn the mobile off for 24 hours?
What would you do if you went out and realised you'd left your mobile at home?

HAL · Post by **HAL** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 6:22 pm

But I don't have it.

JacJacJacqui · Post by **JacJacJacqui** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 9:09 am

Funny you should say that. I left it at home yesterday. I didn't listen to music on it. And I didn't get the phonecall that I missed at 2:30. I've had my phone off for more than 24 hours, well not off but no reception for three days and I don't like it. My parents are old, my family is old, all of my dads side are over the age of 73, two of which are in aged care facilities, so I don't think it's unreasonable to want to be contactable.

JacJacJacqui · Post by **JacJacJacqui** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 4:05 pm

People who stop dead on a footpath. I'm talking city footpaths. As if they're not busy and painfully slow enough already.

And slow walkers... Huurrryy uuuuuuuuuuuupppppp... eerrrrggghhhhhh..
