Are people who leave mobiles on while sleeping stupid and extremely immature?

Jay D · 02-11-2009, 19:51

Ok...

We have the exception of those who essentially need to. Be it for children, visitors etc.

Whatever the case, fair enough.

But what about individuals who just leave their phone on while going to bed, some of whom don't have a job even? No need for anything for sure during night time, only hope in vain that some miracle will occur if they leave it on.

I'm just bringing this up because witnessed a large amount of people giving out about this lately. I just think if you are thick enough to leave it on then it's completely your own fault. No point acting like the 5 year old mental age you maybe are in reality and giving out to someone who texted you early so that you'd have it when you woke up, not knowing how simple you were leaving something that will only ever wake you with bs unless it's your alarm, which in fact is easily set to sound even on silent or offline mode.

I leave mine on.

Booty calls.

You're ugly though, you wouldn't understand.

Who gives a fcuk really? Do you unplug your house phone at night too?

SV · 02-11-2009, 19:53

I always turn my phone off at night time.
Don't see any reason why not.. usually have it most of the day too

minidazzler · 02-11-2009, 19:53

I leave mine on, but then again I don't get up until late in the day so it needs to be, in case someone wants to contact me for beer, or sex, usually beer though

Latchy · 02-11-2009, 19:55

On - just in case

Actually unless it's a case of ' do not disturb ' I just forget to switch mine off

MagicMarker · 02-11-2009, 19:55

I leave mine on, not because I'm hoping to receive a call, but because there's no reason to turn it off.

Xx_emma_xX · 02-11-2009, 19:56

I leave mine on, is that a problem?

ScienceNerd · 02-11-2009, 19:56

Just as easy to leave it on, I fail to see how it is possibly "Extremely stupid and immature".

I use my phone as my alarm but even when I don't I still leave it on, turning it off doesn't give me magical powers or anything.

**Damo9090** · 02-11-2009, 19:56

Leave it on. Don't know any tards that would call or text in the middle of the night anyway!

stripysocks85 · 02-11-2009, 19:57

I leave mine on, albeit sometimes on silent which undoubtedly defeats the purpose of leaving it on at all.

One of the reasons I leave it on: I live 3 hours away from my parents so God forbid if anything should happen, it's the only method of contact I'd have.

rarnes1 · 02-11-2009, 19:57
